This week's #NewBooks at the library: I bought second-hand copies of Animal Anomalies: What Abnormal Anatomies Reveal about Normal Development and The Correspondence of #CharlesDarwin, Volume 14: 1866, both from Cambridge University Press. I also adopted a damaged copy of the large-format English/German Elefantenreich: Eine Fossilwelt in Europa from Verlag Beier & Beran, which features some amazing fold-out plates. I hear it is basically out of print now.

A photo of three books standing on a small, brown, wooden table. The out-of-focus background shows black shelves full of books and part of the beech-coloured laminate floor.

On the left, Animal Anomalies, showing a prepared specimen of a frog. The body has been soaked in chemicals that make the flesh translucent and have stained the skeleton red and yellow. This particular frog has a mutation, resulting in its right hind leg splitting into two legs.

In the middle, Elefantenreich, showing a colour illustration of a mammoth in a parched yellow grassland with a herd of mammoths in the background. The individual in the foreground is facing the viewer, dramatically throwing its trunk back over its forehead, and has its mouth open.

On the right, The Correspondence of Charles Darwin, Volume 14: 1866, showing a hardback with a moss-green dust jacket with black and white lettering.

A specialized class of inhibitory neurons, known as #somatostatin (SST)-expressing neurons, establishes a foundational level of #neural inhibition in the visual #cortex that appears to be independent of sensory experience.

Heterotopy (Evolutionary biology 🧬)

Heterotopy is an evolutionary change in the spatial arrangement of an organism's embryonic development, complementary to heterochrony, a change to the rate or timing of a development process. It was first identified by Ernst Haeckel in 1866 and has remained less well studied than heterochrony.

“Developmental biology is fundamentally beautiful. We are no less beautiful for our variation. Instead, perhaps we are more so. Perhaps we are remarkable. Perhaps we are full of wonder.”

This week's #NewBooks at the library: @princetonupress has a 70% off sale at the moment! I bagged myself four fascinating books:
- The Mirror and the Mind: A History of Self-Recognition in the Human Sciences
- The Network of Life: A New View of #Evolution
- Zero to Birth: How the Human Brain Is Built
- Long Problems: Climate Change and the Challenge of Governing across Time

A photo of four books standing on a small, brown, wooden table. The out-of-focus background shows black shelves full of books, part of the beech-coloured laminate floor, and a red curtain covering the door.

From left to right, we have:
- The Mirror and the Mind, which divides its cover into a white and silver-coloured half and plays tricks by mirroring the title and author name;
- The Network of Life, showing a close-up of a leaf's vein pattern, the colours grading from yellow through green to blue;
- Zero to Birth, which shows a diagram of a human embryo inside the capital B of Birth, and the outline of a human brain in coloured dots that are connected by many lines;
- and Long Problems, which shows a dark blue background with the title in bold white letters, printed at a ninety-degree angle and narrowing towards the top, imitating the Star Wars title crawl.
