  • The Ecology of Animal Senses

    Matched Filters for Economical Sensing

    Edited by Gerhard von der Emde, Eric Warrant ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    The collection of chapters in this book present the concept of matched filters: response characteristics “matching” the characteristics of crucially important sensory inputs, which allows detection of vital sensory stimuli while sensory inputs not necessary for the survival of the animal tend to be filtered out, or sacrificed. The individual contributions discuss that the evolution of sensing ... Read more

  • Loudness

    Edited by Mary Florentine, Arthur N. Popper, Richard R. Fay ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    Loudness is the primary psychological correlate of intensity. When the intensity of a sound increases, loudness increases. However, there exists no simple one-to-one correspondence between loudness and intensity; loudness can be changed by modifying the frequency or the duration of the sound, or by adding background sounds. Loudness also changes with the listener’s cognitive state. Loudness ... Read more

  • Divided Brains

    The Biology and Behaviour of Brain Asymmetries

    by Lesley J. Rogers, Giorgio Vallortigara, Richard J. Andrew ...
    Asymmetry of the brain and behaviour (lateralization) has traditionally been considered unique to humans. However, research has shown that this phenomenon is widespread throughout the vertebrate kingdom and found even in some invertebrate species. A similar basic plan of organisation exists across vertebrates. Summarising the evidence and highlighting research from the last twenty years, the ... Read more

  • An Introduction to Neuroendocrinology

    by Michael Wilkinson, Richard E. Brown ...
    How does the brain regulate sexual behavior, or control our body weight? How do we cope with stress? Addressing these questions and many more besides, this thoroughly revised new edition reflects the significant advances that have been made in the study of neuroendocrinology over the last twenty years. The text examines the importance of the hypothalamus in regulating hormone secretion from the ... Read more

  • Insect Hearing and Acoustic Communication

    Edited by Berthold Hedwig ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    This volume provides a comprehensive selection of recent studies addressing insect hearing and acoustic communication. The variety of signalling behaviours and hearing organs makes insects highly suitable animals for exploring and analysing signal generation and hearing in the context of neural processing, ecology, evolution and genetics. Across a variety of hearing species like moths, crickets, ... Read more

  • Sleep, Neuronal Plasticity and Brain Function

    Edited by Peter Meerlo, Ruth M. Benca, Ted Abel ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    This book reviews current knowledge on the importance of sleep for brain function, from molecular mechanisms to behavioral output, with special emphasis on the question of how sleep and sleep loss ultimately affect cognition and mood. It provides an extensive overview of the latest insights in the role of sleep in regulating gene expression, synaptic plasticity and neurogenesis and how that in ... Read more

  • Gasotransmitters: Physiology and Pathophysiology

    Edited by Anton Hermann, Guzel F. Sitdikova, Thomas M. Weiger ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    Since the epochal discovery of the radical and highly toxic gas nitric oxide (NO) as a signaling molecule, two other no less toxic gases – carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) – have been found to also be involved in a plethora of physiological and pathophysiological functions. The gases termed gasotransmitters play an increasingly important role in understanding how signalling into and ... Read more

  • Vertebrate Photoreceptors

    Functional Molecular Bases

    Edited by Satoru Kawamura, Takahisa Furukawa, James B. Hurley ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    This book provides a series of comprehensive views on various important aspects of vertebrate photoreceptors. The vertebrate retina is a tissue that provides unique experimental advantages to neuroscientists. Photoreceptor neurons are abundant in this tissue and they are readily identifiable and easily isolated. These features make them an outstanding model for studying neuronal mechanisms of ...

  • Exploring Frontiers of the Mind-Brain Relationship

    Edited by Alexander Moreira-Almeida, Franklin Santana Santos ...
    Series series Behavioral Science and Psychology (R0)
    The conscious mind defines human existence. Many consider the brain as a computer, and they attempt to explain consciousness as emerging at a critical, but unspecified, threshold level of complex computation among neurons. The brain-as-computer model, however, fails to account for phenomenal experience and portrays consciousness as an impotent, after-the-fact epiphenomenon lacking causal power. ... Read more

  • Perception-Action Cycle

    Models, Architectures, and Hardware

    Edited by Vassilis Cutsuridis, Amir Hussain, John G. Taylor ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    The perception-action cycle is the circular flow of information that takes place between the organism and its environment in the course of a sensory-guided sequence of behaviour towards a goal. Each action causes changes in the environment that are analyzed bottom-up through the perceptual hierarchy and lead to the processing of further action, top-down through the executive hierarchy, toward ...
