Synopsis

Based on the 3rd annual conference of the Center for the Neurobiology of Learning and Memory. Leading researchers in psychology and neuroscience consider current findings on brain organization and its role in memory, with special reference to the cerebral cortex. The book is aimed at cognitive psychologists, neuroscientists, and their graduate students.

A propos du livre

Revue de presse

The Preface ends by telling us that the leitmotif of the book is excitement and by expressing the hope that this will be shared by the reader. There is excitement herein, not least in that the hard work involved is rewarded with the overall feeling that satisfying synthesis of these disparate approaches to brain functioning are brought that much closer by this type of volume. (C.D. Craig, Experimental Physiology (1993), 78)

The book is well structured ... the hard work involved is rewarded with the overall feeling that satisfying syntheses of these disparate approaches to brain functioning are brought that much closer by this type of volume.' (C.D. McCaig, Experimental Physiology (1993), 78)

Présentation de l'éditeur

This edited volume summarizes recent findings of leading researchers investigating the brain systems that underlie memory. The book reviews recent progress in understanding forms of memory in animals and humans and the interaction of cortical and subcortical systems in the regulation of memory. Special emphasis is given to the development of neural network models that attempt to link systems in the regulation of memory. It will be an invaluable source for cognitive psychologists, neuroscientists, and students interested in memory.
