  • The Neurobiology of the Prefrontal Cortex

    Anatomy, Evolution, and the Origin of Insight

    by Prof Richard E. Passingham, Dr Steven P. Wise ...
    Series series Oxford Psychology Series
    The prefrontal cortex makes up almost a quarter of the human brain, and it expanded dramatically during primate evolution. The Neurobiology of the Prefrontal Cortex presents a new theory about its fundamental function. In this important new book, the authors argue that primate-specific parts of the prefrontal cortex evolved to reduce errors in foraging choices, so that particular ancestors of ... Read more

  • Evolution of the Cerebellar Sense of Self

    by John Montgomery, David Bodznick ...
    The cerebellum is an intriguing component of the brain. In humans it occupies only 10% of the brain volume, yet has approximately 69 billion neurons; that is 80% of the nerve cells in the brain. The cerebellum first arose in jawed vertebrates such as sharks, and early vertebrates also have an additional cerebellum-like structure in the hindbrain. Shark cerebellum-like structures function as ... Read more

  • New Frontiers in Mirror Neurons Research

    Edited by Pier Francesco Ferrari, Giacomo Rizzolatti ...
    The discovery of mirror neurons caused a revolution in neuroscience and psychology. Nevertheless, because of their profound impact within life sciences, mirror neuron are still the subject of numerous debates concerning their origins and their functions. With more than 20 years of research in this area, it is timely to synthesise the expanding literature on this topic. 'New frontiers in Mirror ... Read more

  • Mood Disorders

    Toward a New Psychobiology

    by Peter C. Whybrow, Hagop S. Akiskal, William T. McKinney Jr. ...
    Series series Medicine (R0)
    In this book we present a conceptually integrated approach to disorders of mood. These disorders are defined narrowly as the clinical syndromes of mania and melancholia. The latter is our particular focus, for the simple reason that it is more common and thus more is known about it. Our approach owes much to Adolf Meyer, who first used the term psychobiology. It was he who emphasized in a ... Read more

  • Space, Time and Number in the Brain

    Searching for the Foundations of Mathematical Thought

    Edited by Stanislas Dehaene, Elizabeth Brannon ...
    The study of mathematical cognition and the ways in which the ideas of space, time and number are encoded in brain circuitry has become a fundamental issue for neuroscience. How such encoding differs across cultures and educational level is of further interest in education and neuropsychology. This rapidly expanding field of research is overdue for an interdisciplinary volume such as this, which ... Read more

  • Brain Asymmetry and Neural Systems

    Foundations in Clinical Neuroscience and Neuropsychology

    by David W. Harrison ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    The proposed book investigates brain asymmetry from the perspective of functional neural systems theory, a foundational approach for the topic. There is currently no such book available on the market and there is a need for a neuroscience book, with a focus on the functional asymmetry of these two integrated and dynamic brains using historical and modern clinical and experimental research findings ...

  • Computational Theories and their Implementation in the Brain

    The legacy of David Marr

    Edited by Lucia M. Vaina, Richard E. Passingham ...
    In the late 1960s and early 1970s David Marr produced three astonishing papers in which he gave a detailed account of how the fine structure and known cell types of the cerebellum, hippocampus and neocortex perform the functions that they do. Marr went on to become one of the main founders of Computational Neuroscience. In his classic work 'Vision' he distinguished between the computational, ... Read more
