  • Analysis and Modeling of Coordinated Multi-neuronal Activity

    Edited by Masami Tatsuno ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    Since information in the brain is processed by the exchange of spikes among neurons, a study of such group dynamics is extremely important in understanding hippocampus dependent memory. These spike patterns and local field potentials (LFPs) have been analyzed by various statistical methods. These studies have led to important findings of memory information processing. For example, memory-trace ... Read more

  • Neurodegenerative Disorders as Systemic Diseases

    Edited by Keiji Wada ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    This book sheds new light on neurodegenerative disorders as systemic diseases. Classically, neuronal cell death was a hallmark of such disorders. However, it has become evident that neural dysfunction is more important in the pathophysiology of neurodegenerative disorders. More recently, the prionoid-spreading hypothesis of disease-causing molecules has attracted a great deal of attention. ... Read more
