Synopsis:

This book looks at what we have learned over the last century in attempting to discover how the brain enables us to acquire, retain, and use information based on experiences. The major central questions are: "What processes underlie the formation of new memories?" "What processes determine the strength of memories?" "Where are the changes underlying memory located?"

Review:
"Much of the material can be found scattered elsewhere, but there are at least two advantages of having it collected in this volume: the juxtapositioning of straight neuroscience and biomedical research, and the way the authors have structured an interplay of research reports with commentaries."--The Quarterly Review of Biology

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. We are approaching the end of the first century of attempts to discover how the brain enables us to acquire, retain, and use information based on experience. The past several decades especially have witnessed an ever accelerating pace of research. This increase is due in large part to the development of new techniques for the analysis of brain and behavior. But, to a greater extent, these advances have been fueled by some seminal findings and the accumulation ofknowledge based on systematic inquiry in many laboratories around the world. This important volume, authored by internationally renowned leaders in the field, is a progress report on this burgeoningwork. What processes underlie the formation of new memories? What determines their strength? Where are the changes underlying memory located? In judging recent progress, this book looks at what we have learned about each of these questions. Furthermore, the contributors look at how these questions are rephrased and refined by new findings, hypotheses, and theories. Topics include: emotion and memory, aging and memory, plasticity of the cerebral cortex, and synaptic connectivity andmemory. This book will be welcomed by neuroscientists, cognitive psychologists, and cognitive scientists. A third volume resulting from a conference at the Center for the Neurobiology of Learning and Memory at the University of California, Irvine. This book focuses on several areas of the neurobiology of learning and memory in which there have been important developments in recent years. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9780195082944
