Behavioural Complexity Of The Nervous System

The nervous system is a highly multifaceted and complex organ that is responsible for a variety of tasks including receiving and processing sensory information and in controlling the highly complex behaviours required for proper survival, even in case of phylogenetically lower organisms. Physiological and anatomical differences in between higher species (e.g. mammals) and lower species are properly evident. These differences clearly related with behavioural complexity and overall functioning. This complexity of nervous system for normal function can leave the system prone towards a variety of insults or exposures. In reference to environmental exposures; age, sex, route of exposure, dose, and genetic profile, have also a major influence
