Book Description:
Emotions shape all aspects of our thinking and behavior, particularly when we communicate with others. How does our brain respond to emotions conveyed by picture media, human faces, voices, and written language? How do we integrate this information in social interaction? What goes wrong in the brains of people suffering from emotional disorders? This book reviews modern neuroscientific and psychological research providing answers to these questions. In this volume, leading researchers give comprehensive overviews of the current knowledge on different aspects of emotional perception and the underlying brain mechanisms and highlight outstanding research questions for the future. This book provides essential information for other researchers in the fields of affective and cognitive neuroscience as well as for advanced students.

Plasticity in the Adult Brain: From Genes to Neurotherapy (Progress in Brain Research)

By M.A. Hofman, G.J. Boer, A.J.G.D. Holtmaat, E.J.W. Van Someren, J. Verhaagen, D.F. Swaab

[li]Publisher:  Elsevier Science [/li][li]Number Of Pages:  496 [/li][li]Publication Date:  2002-10-01 [/li][li]ISBN-10 / ASIN:  044450981X [/li][li]ISBN-13 / EAN:  9780444509819 [/li][li]Binding:  Hardcover [/li]

Book Description:
In the past decade neuronal plasticity has become a major theme of modern neurobiology, from cellular and molecular mechanisms of synapse formation in worms and insects to behavioural recovery from strokes in elderly humans. For this reason the focus of interest in the present volume of Progress in Brain Research is on the topic of neuroplasticity in mature organisms, including humans. Contributions range from neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity in the adult primate brain, to neural mechanisms of learning and memory, and the influence of environmental factors and aging on the functional potential of the central nervous system. Several contributions focus on recent developments in neural regeneration and brain repair, providing challenging evidence that the use of stem cell neurotherapy may be beneficial to humans suffering from various neurological and psychiatric diseases. This volume integrates new information on the cellular and molecular mechanisms of neuroplasticity and highlights challenging future questions in this exciting and topical area of neuroscience.

Book Description:
Over the past 25 years the amount of data pertaining to the GABAergic function in the basal ganglia has increased dramatically. GABA and the Basal Ganglia - From Molecules to Systems is a comprehensive review of the current state-of-the-art of knowledge about the neuroanatomy, neuropharmacology and neurophysiology of the basal ganglia, focusing on its GABAergic microcircuitry. It serves as a complete reference to the body of knowledge about the basal ganglia, its constituent neurons, and their interconnections. This volume is designed to serve as a convenient all-in-one review and reference for experienced basal ganglia researchers as well as an introduction to the functional organization of the basal ganglia and its GABAergic circuitry for students and researchers new to the field.

* Reviews the anatomy, physiology and pharmacology of the basal ganglia itself in addition to focusing on the GABAergic circuitry of the basal ganglia
* Authors of each chapter leading internationally acclaimed experts in basal ganglia research

From Action to Cognition, Volume 164 (Progress in Brain Research)

By Claes Von Hofsten, Kerstin Rosander

[li]Publisher:  Elsevier Science [/li][li]Number Of Pages:  600 [/li][li]Publication Date:  2007-11-27 [/li][li]ISBN-10 / ASIN:  0444530169 [/li][li]ISBN-13 / EAN:  9780444530165 [/li][li]Binding:  Hardcover [/li]

---

Book Description:
Extensive neurophysiological and neuropsychological evidence show that perception, action, and cognition are closely related in the brain and develop in parallel to one another. Thus, perception, cognition, and social functioning are all anchored in the actions of the child. Actions reflect the motives, the problems to be solved, and the constraints and possibilities of the childs body and sensory-motor system. The developing brain accumulates experiences which it translates into knowledge used in planning future actions. Such knowledge is available because events are governed by rules and regularities. The present volume discusses all these aspects of how action and cognition are related in development.

Computational Neuroscience: Theoretical Insights into Brain Function, Volume 165 (Progress in Brain Research)

By Paul Cisek, Trevor Drew, John Kalaska

[li]Publisher:  Elsevier Science [/li][li]Number Of Pages:  400 [/li][li]Publication Date:  2007-12-14 [/li][li]ISBN-10 / ASIN:  0444528237 [/li][li]ISBN-13 / EAN:  9780444528230 [/li][li]Binding:  Hardcover [/li]

Book Description:
Computational neuroscience is a relatively new but rapidly expanding area of research which is becoming increasingly influential in shaping the way scientists think about the brain. Computational approaches have been applied at all levels of analysis, from detailed models of single-channel function, transmembrane currents, single-cell electrical activity, and neural signaling to broad theories of sensory perception, memory, and cognition. This book provides a snapshot of this exciting new field by bringing together chapters on a diversity of topics from some of its most important contributors. This includes chapters on neural coding in single cells, in small networks, and across the entire cerebral cortex, visual processing from the retina to object recognition, neural processing of auditory, vestibular, and electromagnetic stimuli, pattern generation, voluntary movement and posture, motor learning, decision-making and cognition, and algorithms for pattern recognition. Each chapter provides a bridge between a body of data on neural function and a mathematical approach used to interpret and explain that data. These contributions demonstrate how computational approaches have become an essential tool which is integral in many aspects of brain science, from the interpretation of data to the design of new experiments, and to the growth of our understanding of neural function.

Includes contributions by some of the most influential people in the field of computational neuroscience
Demonstrates how computational approaches are being used today to interpret experimental data
Covers a wide range of topics from single neurons, to neural systems, to abstract models of learning
