Abstract

The main objective of this paper is to point out by means of a brief review of the evolution of the nervous system from invertebrates up to major vertebrates and try to build a bridge connecting to education. A short survey is carried out over the environment physichal and chemical conditions at the beggining of the Earth planet and the first forms of primitive organisms. An analyses of the interaction of cell receptors with environment changes and lenght period of times acting on primitive animals. It is dealt how neural nets and neural circuits contributed for the learning mechanism inside cnidarians, spongiarians, artrhopods, molusca, chordata, fish, amphibia, reptilia, superior vertebrates, and primates. Educational implications are suggested.
