Synopsis

Combining insights from both cognitive neuroscience and molecular biology, two of the world's leading experts address memory from molecules and cells to brain systems and cognition. What is memory and where in the brain is it stored? How is memory storage accomplished? This book touches on these questions and many more, showing how the recent convergence of psychology and biology has resulted in an exciting new synthesis of knowledge about learning and remembering. Memory: From Mind to Molecules is an ideal primer for courses on learning and memory or for general readers who are interested in discovering what is currently known about one of the basic aspects of human existence. Contents: Preface; 1 From Mind to Molecules; 2 Modifiable Synapses for Nondeclarative Memory; 3 Molecules for Short-Term Memory; 4 Declarative Memory; 5 Brain Systems for Declarative Memory; 6 A Synaptic Storage Mechanism for Declarative Memory; 7 From Short-Term Memory to Long-Term Memory; 8 Priming, Perceptual Learning, and Emotional Learning; 9 Memory for Skills, Habits, and Conditioning; 10 Memory and the Biological Basis of Individuality; Further Readings; Sources of Illustrations; Index.
