Brains of Rats and Men (Classic Reprint): A Survey of the Origin and Biological Significance of the Cerebral Cortex: A Survey of the Origin and ... of the Cerebral Cortex (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Explore how the rat brain learns and how scientists map its cortex. This book sketches, in clear terms, how learning happens in the brain and what brain regions contribute to memory and behavior.

Through detailed experiments and thoughtful analysis, it argues that simple learning in rats may not rely on a single cerebral area, while acknowledging that cortex can play a role when such learning involves more complex processing. The text clarifies key ideas about learning, retention, recall, and the ongoing search for how brain structure shapes behavior.

• Examination of learning experiments and what they reveal about brain function


• Clear explanations of learning, memory retention, and recall in neural terms


• Discussion of the concept of equipotentiality versus cortical specificity


• Impactful questions about how brain structure relates to behavior across species

Ideal for readers of neuroscience and psychology, students, and anyone curious about how brains translate experience into action.
