  • Neurobiology of Cerebrospinal Fluid 1

    Edited by James H. Wood ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    Physiologic compartmentalization effectively isolates the central nervous system from the rest of the body. This isolation not only provides protection of its delicate function from aberrant peripheral influences but also impedes its diagnostic evaluation. Cerebro spinal fluid (CSF) bathes the brain and spinal cord, is in dynamic equilibrium with its extracellular fluid, and tends to reflect the ... Read more

  • Microglia in Health and Disease

    Edited by Marie-Ève Tremblay, Amanda Sierra ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    These past few years have witnessed a revolution in our understanding of microglia, especially since their roles in the healthy central nervous system (CNS) have started to unravel. These cells were shown to actively maintain health, in concert with neurons and other types of CNS cells, providing further insight into their involvement with diseases. Edited by two pioneers in the field, Marie-Ève ... Read more

  • 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

  • Perception-Action Cycle

    Models, Architectures, and Hardware

    Edited by Vassilis Cutsuridis, Amir Hussain, John G. Taylor ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    The perception-action cycle is the circular flow of information that takes place between the organism and its environment in the course of a sensory-guided sequence of behaviour towards a goal. Each action causes changes in the environment that are analyzed bottom-up through the perceptual hierarchy and lead to the processing of further action, top-down through the executive hierarchy, toward ...
