The Mentalities of Gorillas and Orangutans
Author: Sue Taylor ParkerPublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1139429299
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 435
Book Description
Research on the mental abilities of chimpanzees and bonobos has been widely celebrated and used in reconstructions of human evolution. In contrast, less attention has been paid to the abilities of gorillas and orangutans. This 1999 volume aims to help complete the picture of hominoid cognition by bringing together the work on gorillas and orangutans and setting it in comparative perspective. The introductory chapters set the evolutionary context for comparing cognition in gorillas and orangutans to that of chimpanzees, bonobos and humans. The remaining chapters focus primarily on the kinds and levels of intelligence displayed by orangutans and gorillas compared to other great apes, including performances in the classic domains of tool use and tool making, imitation, self-awareness, social communication and symbol use. All those wanting more information on the mental abilities of these sometimes neglected, but important primates will find this book a treasure trove.
The Dopamine Receptors
Author: Kim NevePublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1603273336
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 650
Book Description
As sites of action for drugs used to treat schizophrenia and Parkinson’s disease, dopamine receptors are among the most validated drug targets for neuropsychiatric disorders. Dopamine receptors are also drug targets or potential targets for other disorders such as substance abuse, depression, Tourette’s syndrome, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Updated from the successful first edition, "The Dopamine Receptors" serves as a reference work on dopamine receptors while also highlighting the areas of research that are most active today. To achieve this goal, authors have written chapters that set a broad area of research in its historical context, rather than focusing on the research output of their own laboratories.
Primate Origins of Human Cognition and Behavior
Author: Tetsuro MatsuzawaPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 4431094229
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 596
Book Description
Biologists and anthropologists in Japan have played a crucial role in the development of primatology as a scientific discipline. Publication of Primate Origins of Human Cognition and Behavior under the editorship of Tetsuro Matsuzawa reaffirms the pervasive and creative role played by the intellectual descendants of Kinji Imanishi and Junichiro Itani in the fields of behavioral ecology, psychology, and cognitive science. Matsuzawa and his colleagues-humans and other primate partners- explore a broad range of issues including the phylogeny of perception and cognition; the origin of human speech; learning and memory; recognition of self, others, and species; society and social interaction; and culture. With data from field and laboratory studies of more than 90 primate species and of more than 50 years of long-term research, the intellectual breadth represented in this volume makes it a major contribution to comparative cognitive science and to current views on the origin of the mind and behavior of humans.
Behavioral Genetics of the Mouse: Volume 1, Genetics of Behavioral Phenotypes
Author: Wim E. CrusioPublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1107355575
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 361
Book Description
The first volume in the new Cambridge Handbooks in Behavioral Genetics series, Behavioral Genetics of the Mouse provides baseline information on normal behaviors, essential in both the design of experiments using genetically modified or pharmacologically treated animals and in the interpretation and analyses of the results obtained. The book offers a comprehensive overview of the genetics of naturally occurring variation in mouse behavior, from perception and spontaneous behaviors such as exploration, aggression, social interactions and motor behaviors, to reinforced behaviors such as the different types of learning. Also included are numerous examples of potential experimental problems, which will aid and guide researchers trying to troubleshoot their own studies. A lasting reference, the thorough and comprehensive reviews offer an easy entrance into the extensive literature in this field, and will prove invaluable to students and specialists alike.
The Other Side of Leadership
Author: Eugene B. HabeckerPublisher: Victor
ISBN: 9780896933415
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
There's more to leadership than being in the limelight. Power is appealing and leaders use and need power. The misuse of power by leaders, however, is appalling. But power from God's perspective is appropriating his strength and using it his way for his honor, not our own. In this book, Dr. Eugene Habecker presents the other side of Christian leadership, using the term followership to demonstrate the importance of first following the Lord Jesus, and then following those under our direction as true spiritual servants. Dr. Habecker also looks at the private dimension of the public figure, an issue ignored in many leadership books. Here he frankly discusses some of the problems a Christian leader struggles with every day, among them: the spiritual walk, financial considerations, family priorities, and sexuality. Christian leadership, says Dr. Habecker, is first and foremost discipleship. Read The Other Side Of Leadership and discover the equation for putting God at the controls. - Back cover.
