Learning and Memory

Drawn from the proceedings of the 23rd Goettingen Neurobiology Conference, this book features the plenary lectures: the memory trace - history of a concept; emerging ideas on memory in multiple matrices and with cyclic re-excitation; a comparison of the mechanistic relationships between development and learning in aplysia; attempting to bridge the gap between synaptic plasticity and learning; attention in conditioning; brain waves and brain wiring; auditory cortex - analyzer and interpreter; and probing neuronal function with photons and designed molecules. The book should be of interest to neurobiologists, neurologists, geneticists, zoologists and psychologists.
