This volume investigates the foundational principles of brain function and behavior as established through the experimental research of Karl S. Lashley. The editors, all prominent figures in psychology and neuroscience, curate a selection of Lashley's most influential papers to demonstrate his shift from behaviorism toward a biological understanding of memory, learning, and cerebral organization. The collection provides a comprehensive overview of his search for the 'engram' and his theories regarding equipotentiality and mass action in the cerebral cortex.
