Synopsis

The essays in this volume are written by neuroscientists distinguished for their research into the neurobiology of mammalian sensory processing. Covering a wide range of current experimental approaches to investigation of the mammalian brain using anatomical, physiological and theoretical techniques, the contributors address the nature of the central neural representation of the major sensory systems - taste, smell, hearing, sight, pain, and touch. They discuss their experimental rationales and methods of approach and comparison of the resulting data, which demonstrate the commonality of many features of neural organization between the different sensory systems explored. Puzzles over the import of elaborately structured maps of sensory function in the cerebral cortex, sensory systems, the nature of neuron assemblies responsible for complex analytic events, and the relation between metabolic patterns of activity and physiological recording of response properties are among the features discussed in detail.
