Opis

This latest offering in the Frontiers in Neuroscience series provides a multidisciplinary review of research being conducted on the neurobiology of memory. This volume examines the synaptic communication elements identified as being susceptible to modification through the accumulation of experience. It explains how cell circuitry is modulated and ultimately modified by neurotransmitters and hormones during the process of acquiring, consolidating, and retrieving information. In each chapter, researchers present findings, while explaining their innovative methodologies. This text also addresses current memory studies involving human brain imaging.
