Summary
Brain ground plans of the Decapoda and Eureptantia are constructed within the framework of the phylogenetic trees of these groups. Changes that have occurred during the evolution of the decapod brains are described and neural homologies both at the neuropil and single neuron level are discussed. The possibilities that the appearance of new structures in the brain are correlated with a change in habit, and that evolutionary success is correlated with a reduction in brain complexity are considered.
