Book Description
Sometimes, memories are like feathers that can fly into our cerebral labyrinths, taking a ship for sail, crossing neural networks like the flow of ethereal butterflies. In other situations, our remembrances are settled down like deep roots of strong trees.This book introduces also an experimental protocol, about conceptual neurons and how these nerve cells can identify emotional insights when they discriminate an iconic sample (a famous human image, well spread all over the world).Finally, analyzing the Working Memory Paradigm, this text describes new neuronal networks participating in neuronal processing like mental representations in predictive tasks associated to prefrontal cortex.

Book Description
LAS MOLÉCULAS DE LA MEMORIAPero... ¿Y cómo guarda el cerebro nuestros recuerdos? ¿Existe acaso, un borrador de memorias?Como diminutos dispositivos que se pliegan y desdoblan para acoplarse, muchas proteínas se ensamblan dentro de células muy especializadas, dentro del cerebro.Allí, en los recovecos de la mente, permanece aquel velo misterioso, que nos hace recordar a veces, direcciones, caras, nombres o datos que en ocasiones, no podemos nombrar.Los científicos actualmente tratan de develar tales misterios, y con grandes adelantos de la ciencia, este libro se sumerge en esas redes neuronales, donde las moléculas juegan a la ruleta rusa y al borrador de goma, con nuestras memorias.

Synaptic Plasticity in the Hippocampus
Author: Helmut L. Haas
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 364273202X
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 219
Book Description
This is the second time that I have had the honor of opening an interna tional symposium dedicated to the functions of the hippocampus here in Pecs. It was a pleasure to greet the participants in the hope that their valuable contributions will make this meeting a tradition in this town. As one of the hosts of the symposium, I had the sorrowful duty to remind you of the absence of a dear colleague, Professor Graham God dard. His tragic and untimely death represents the irreparable loss of both a friend and an excellent researcher. This symposium is dedicated to his memory. If I compare the topics of the lectures of this symposium with those of the previous one, a striking difference becomes apparent. A dominating tendency of the previous symposium was to attempt to define hippocam pal function or to offer data relevant to supporting or rejecting existing theoretical positions. No such tendency is reflected in the titles of the present symposium, in which most of the contributions deal with hip pocampal phenomena at the most elementary level. Electrical, biochemi cal, biophysical, and pharmacological events at the synaptic, membrane, or intracellular level are analyzed without raising the question of what kind of integral functions these elementary phenomena are a part of.

Exploring the Thalamus and Its Role in Cortical Function
Author: S. Murray Sherman
Publisher: MIT Press (MA)
ISBN: 9780262195324
Category : Higher nervous activity
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
The thalamus plays a critical role in perceptual processing, but many questions remain about what thalamic activities contribute to sensory and motor functions. In this book, two pioneers in research on the thalamus examine the close two-way relationships between thalamus and cerebral cortex and look at the distinctive functions of the links between the thalamus and the rest of the brain. Countering the dominant "corticocentric" approach to understanding the cerebral cortex—which does not recognize that all neocortical areas receive important inputs from the thalamus and send outputs to lower motor centers—S. Murray Sherman and R. W. Guillery argue for a reappraisal of the way we think about the cortex and its interactions with the rest of the brain. The book defines some of the functional categories critical to understanding thalamic functions, including the distinctions between drivers (pathways that carry messages to the cortex) and modulators (which can change the pattern of transmission) and between first-order and higher-order thalamic relays—the former receiving ascending drivers and the latter receiving cortical drivers. This second edition further develops these distinctions with expanded emphasis throughout the book on the role of the thalamus in cortical function. An important new chapter suggests a structural basis for linking perception and action, supplying supporting evidence for a link often overlooked in current views of perceptual processing.

Handbook of Neuropsychology and Aging
Author: Paul David Nussbaum
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9780306454608
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 592
Book Description
Leaders in neuropsychology, behavioral neurology, speech and language science, neuropsychiatry, and many other disciplines contribute to this volume, the first comprehensive review of knowledge in the field. They discuss a wide range of disorders, including areas of recent research - such as frontal lobe dementias and the neuropsychological aspects of late life depression - and clinical problems typically given insufficient consideration in other works, such as seizure disorder, head injury, and mental retardation. Normal aging is also covered in detail, and assessment procedures and clinical interventions are given thorough treatment. Other highlights include discussions of guardianship and caregiving personality and behavior, psychotic disorders, Alzheimer's, and head trauma.
