Recent Advances on the Modular Organization of the Cortex

Editat de Manuel F. Casanova, Ioan Opris
en Limba Engleză Hardback – iul 2015
The way you perceive the world, plan, make decisions and communicate your thoughts and feelings depends on the function and hierarchical arrangement of cortical modules.  The ability to both provide adaptive responses to our ever-changing environment and to pursue a useful role in society is the most important problem faced by present day neuroscientists. In essence, the workings of cortical modules define the nature of our soul, making each of us who we are. This book provides a breath-taking view of different perspectives by world renowned authorities as to the workings of these cortical modules both in the normal state and in mental disorders.

Recenzii

“This is an important new book covering afundamental area of neuroscience. Neuroscientists and physicians in theclinical neurosciences would enjoy reading this fascinating book. I highlyrecommend it.” (Michael Joel Schrift, Doody's Book Reviews, October, 2015)

The way you perceive the world, plan, make decisions and communicate your thoughts and feelings depends on the function and hierarchical arrangement of cortical modules.  The ability to both provide adaptive responses to our ever-changing environment and to pursue a useful role in society is the most important problem faced by present day neuroscientists. In essence, the workings of cortical modules define the nature of our soul, making each of us who we are. This book provides a breath-taking view of different perspectives by world renowned authorities as to the workings of these cortical modules both in the normal state and in mental disorders.

Caracteristici

Explains in simple terms recent advances that define the role of cortical modules in the emergence of higher cognitive functions and their involvement as core pathological features of mental disorders Delineates the anatomical and physiological properties of cortical modules during information processing Promotes a basic understanding of the role of cortical modules in comparative neuroanatomy, neuropathology, neurophysiology and anthropology Written in understandable terms by renowned leaders in the fields of anthropology, electrophysiology, neuroanatomy and neuropathology
