Conceptual Advances in Brain Research
The Female Brain
2nd Edition
By Cynthia L. Darlington
June 14, 2017
The first edition of The Female Brain laid the groundwork for gaining a better understanding of the female brain, examining the evidence for structural and functional differences between the brains of males and females. Addressing a wealth of new research, the second edition continues in this vein,...
A Theory of the Basal Ganglia and Their Disorders
1st Edition
By Robert Miller
August 08, 2007
The Basal ganglia, to adopt a phrase of Churchill's, are "a riddle wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma." And although there is a wealth of information available on them, this research field remains controversial due in part to the diverse number of disciplines involved. A Theory of the Basal ...
Memory and Brain Dynamics: Oscillations Integrating Attention, Perception, Learning, and Memory
1st Edition
By Erol Basar
June 23, 2004
Memory itself is inseparable from all other brain functions and involves distributed dynamic neural processes. A wealth of publications in neuroscience literature report that the concerted action of distributed multiple oscillatory processes (EEG oscillations) play a major role in brain functioning...
Cortical Areas: Unity and Diversity
1st Edition
Edited
By Almut Schuez, Robert Miller
May 30, 2002
The study of areas in the cerebral cortex has a long history, bringing empirical data into close relation with fundamental conceptual issues about the cortex. The subject is currently being revitalized with the advent of new experimental methods and this book brings a modern perspective to the ...
Sex Differences in Lateralization in the Animal Brain
1st Edition
By V L Bianki, E. B. Filippova
January 16, 2001
Until recently, little account has been taken of sex differences in many research studies in psychiatry, medicine and physiology. Subjects of these research studies were mainly men, with most researchers using twice as many males as females in their studies. The need to take a sexually ...
Time and the Brain
1st Edition
Edited
By Robert Miller
September 11, 2000
Since the days of Galileo, time has been a fundamental variable in scientific attempts to understand the natural world. Once the first recordings of electrical activity in the brain had been made, it became clear that electrical signals from the brain consist of very complex temporal patterns. This...
Brain Dynamics and the Striatal Complex
1st Edition
By Robert Miller, Jeffrey Wickens
January 18, 2000
Brain Dynamics and the Striatal Complex, the first volume in the Conceptual Advances in Brain Research book series, relates dynamic function to cellular structure and synaptic organization in the basal ganglia. The striatum is the largest nucleus within the basal ganglia and therefore plays an ...
