I'm looking for recommendations (books, papers, courses, or YouTube) to understand the brain in a way that stays close to established facts and clearly separates fact from interpretation. For example, many books just ignore glia cells completely.

Two things I especially want:

1. Comparative and evolutionary: nervous systems across the animal kingdom and how they evolved, not human-centric. I'm as interested in C. elegans, insects, and up to the human cortex.

2. Attention to the whole system: glia, energy/metabolism, wiring, the body rather than an all-neurons view.

I've already read Behave, Models of the Mind, The Laws of Thought, and similar so happy with textbooks, lecture courses, or primary literature.

I suspect books on brain physiology could be interesting.
