  • The Pulvinar Thalamic Nucleus of Non-Human Primates: Architectonic and Functional Subdivisions

    by Juliana G.M. Soares, Ricardo Gattass, Bruss Lima ...
    Series series Medicine (R0)
    This book discusses the hypothesis that the primate pulvinar contains an original scaffold which is derived from cytoarchitectural markers and specific protein distributions. Thereafter, along primate evolution, different selective pressures acted in order to shape and fine-tune the connectivity of the pulvinar with specific regions of the neocortex. This divergence created, among other things, ... Read more

  • Neuroscience in Education

    The good, the bad, and the ugly

    Edited by Sergio Della Sala, Mike Anderson ...
    In the past ten years, there has been growing interest in applying our knowledge of the functioning of the human brain to the field of education-including reading, learning, language and mathematics. This has resulted in the development of a number of new practices in education-some good, some bad and some just crazy. The 'good' is nearly always sound cognitive research that has clear implications ... Read more

  • The Neurobiology of the Prefrontal Cortex

    Anatomy, Evolution, and the Origin of Insight

    by Richard E. Passingham, Steven P. Wise ...
    Series series Oxford Psychology Series
    The prefrontal cortex makes up almost a quarter of the human brain, and it expanded dramatically during primate evolution. The Neurobiology of the Prefrontal Cortex presents a new theory about its fundamental function. In this important new book, the authors argue that primate-specific parts of the prefrontal cortex evolved to reduce errors in foraging choices, so that particular ancestors of ... Read more

  • Evolution of the Cerebellar Sense of Self

    by John Montgomery, David Bodznick ...
    The cerebellum is an intriguing component of the brain. In humans it occupies only 10% of the brain volume, yet has approximately 69 billion neurons; that is 80% of the nerve cells in the brain. The cerebellum first arose in jawed vertebrates such as sharks, and early vertebrates also have an additional cerebellum-like structure in the hindbrain. Shark cerebellum-like structures function as ... Read more

  • Meaningful Information

    The Bridge Between Biology, Brain, and Behavior

    by Anthony Reading ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    The book introduces a radically new way of thinking about information and the important role it plays in living systems. It opens up new avenues for exploring how cells and organisms change and adapt, since the ability to detect and respond to meaningful information is the key that enables them to receive their genetic heritage, regulate their internal milieu, and respond to changes in their ...

  • Current Topics in Primate Vocal Communication

    Edited by U. Jürgens, J. Newman, E. Zimmermann ...
    More than 25 years ago, the first major review of primate communication appeared (Altmann, 1967). Since then, information on the communicative abilities of primates increased rapidly, resulting, 15 years later, in the appearance of the first volume in which signaling systems were analyzed in a broader variety of primate groups within an evolutionary perspective (Snowdon, Brown and Petersen, 1982). ...

  • Toward Consilience

    The Bioneurological Basis of Behavior, Thought, Experience, and Language

    by Gerald A. Cory Jr. ...
    The present work is the second in a series constituting an extension of my doctoral thesis done at Stanford in the early 1970s. Like the earlier work, The Reciprocal Modular Brain in Economics and Politics, Shaping the Rational and Moral Basis ofOrganization, Exchange, and Choice (Plenum Publishing, 1999), it may also be considered to respond to the call for consilience by Edward O. Wilson. I ... Read more

  • How Can Physics Underlie the Mind?

    Top-Down Causation in the Human Context

    by George Ellis ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Physics underlies all complexity, including our own existence: how is this possible? How can our own lives emerge from interactions of electrons, protons, and neutrons? This book considers the interaction of physical and non-physical causation in complex systems such as living beings, and in particular in the human brain, relating this to the emergence of higher levels of complexity with real ...
