A propos de cet article

Hardcover. Memory could be conceptualised as the capability to encode, store and retrieve information to guide behavior. Memory may be stored in different manners depending on synaptic characteristics for information processing, which may modulate synchronisation of firing of neuronal assemblies. This book focuses on some of the mechanisms that modulate the synaptic activity underlying both the organisation and expression of memory. Thus, memory is viewed from the point of view of its synaptic determinants. This book is the integrated compilation of a large body of experimental evidence related to some cellular and subcellular events underlying plastic changes of neural circuits forming the memory traces related to some memory systems. Moreover, this view of memory is considered from both a normal viewpoint and from that of some atypical situations. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

À propos de l?auteur

Dr. Ignacio González Burgos is Biologist, Master in Sciences in Cell Biology, and PhD in Biomedical Sciences. He is Senior Researcher and Chief of the Neuroscience Division at the Western Biomedical Research Center of the Mexican Institute of Social Security, in Guadalajara, Jalisco, México. Dr. González-Burgos has published more than 50 original articles and some book chapters, all of these related to the neurochemical and hormonal events involved in the modulation of the synaptic plasticity that underlie the brain organization and behavioral expression of learning and memory. Also, he has been reviewer of papers submitted to publication in some dozens of prestigious international Journals devoted to the study of neurosciences. Dr. González-Burgos is a regular member of the Sociedad Mexicana de Ciencias Fisiológicas, the Academia Mexicana de Ciencias, the Society for Neuroscience, the International Brain Research Organization, the Internacional Society for Developmental Neuroscience, the International Behavioral Neuroscience Society, and the Cajal Club.
