What does it take to evolve behaviorally complex organisms?

Bio Systems - 1 May 2003

Calabretta Raffaele, Ferdinando Andrea Di, Wagner Günter P, Parisi Domenico

Abstract excerpt

What genotypic features explain the evolvability of organisms that have to accomplish many different tasks? The genotype of behaviorally complex organisms may be more likely to encode modular neural architectures because neural modules dedicated to distinct tasks avoid neural interference, i.e. the arrival of conflicting messages for changing the value of connection weights during learning. However, if the...
