This edited volume summarizes recent findings of leading researchers investigating the brain systems that underlie memory. The book reviews recent progress in understanding forms of memory in animals and humans and the interaction of cortical and subcortical systems in the regulation of memory. Special emphasis is given to the development of neural network models that attempt to link cells to systems in the representation of memory. The book will be an invaluable source for cognitive psychologists, neuroscientists, and students interested in this active and exciting area of research.
This volume investigates the complex biological mechanisms and neural architectures that facilitate the formation, storage, and regulation of memory within the brain. The authors, a team of distinguished neuroscientists and psychologists, synthesize contemporary research to bridge the gap between cellular activity and systemic cognitive function. By examining both animal models and human data, the text provides a comprehensive framework for understanding how cortical and subcortical systems interact to produce memory.
What You Will Find
Experts identify this volume as a foundational reference for researchers and students seeking to understand the intersection of neurobiology and cognitive psychology. Readers frequently note the technical density of the prose, which is tailored specifically for those with a background in neuroscience or related academic fields.
