About this title

Review

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)

From the Back Cover

This volume is the third in a series. Like its predecessors, Neurobiology of Learning and Memory and Memory Systems of the Brain, this book is the outgrowth of a conference that was organized by the Center for the Neurobiology of Learning and Memory of the University of California, Irvine.
