Review:
"This is an ambitious and challenging book that will be of considerable value to readers interested in the neurophysiological underpinnings of consciousness and imagery. Dr. Glinisky ... has brought her extensive background in perception and cognitive research to the task of making sense of the current status of theory and research on neurostructure and function. [It] is a good introductory text on neuropsychology.... This book is full of interesting material. While some of it may be well known to readers in neuropsychology, much of it, by bringing together extremely interesting discussions of perception and cognition, with studies of perceptual illusions, memory patterns, with recent findings on the split brain functions and on the consequences of various types of damage to the brain, may be invaluable for investigators and clinicians interested in consciousness and imagery.... There is a refreshing sensitivity to issues in gender differences and to the indications often of sex bias on the part of some researchers on the brain. The book is also replete with excellent pictures, especially those that bear on perceptual functions, illusions, etc."-Imagination, Cognition, and Personality

Book Description Originalbroschur. Condition: Gut. XXVII, 550 S. Besitzvermerk Walter Ehrenstein. Einband berieben. - All too often the findings of psychology and neurobiology are seen as distinct and separate. The psychologist speaks of the mind and the neurobiologist of the brain. Mind and Brain is a groundbreaking book that integrates the discoveries of these two disciplines to present an up-to-date theory of how we think and feel. Psychologists have long needed a framework for incorporating perceptual, cognitive, and behavioral characteristics with the model of brain presented by modern research. This book provides that link. European and American laboratories and clinics have produced a sometimes bewildering amount of evidence-biological, biochemical, electrophysiological, and behavioral-about neural mechanisms. Mind and Brain throws light on how the neuro-biological research of Hubel, Wiesel, Goldman-Rakic, Kandel, Evarts, Mountcastle, and Thompson confirms the clinical insights of Luria, Penfield, and Geschwind. The classical contributions of William James, R. S. Woodworth, D. O. Hebb, and especially J. Konorski, whose work is often overlooked in this country, are also cited for their insights in explaining the mechanisms of the brain. Research has shown that the behavior of animals is controlled by unique nerve cells, each with its own particular job to perform and the ability to react with amazing specificity to particular stimuli. These findings lead to an intriguing generalization. Perhaps human behavior is also controlled by individual neurons- intelligent brain cells with precise functions localized in different regions of the brain. The cognon or cognitive neuron is proposed, .in this original model, as a powerful tool for unifying the phenomena of perception, learning, and voluntary action.
