Brain Organization and Memory: Cells, Systems, and Circuits - Softcover

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)

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.
