What Is Special about the Human Brain?
ISBN: 9780199230136 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. It is plausible that evolution could have created the human skeleton, but it is hard to believe that it created the human mind. Yet, in six or seven million years evolution came up with Homo sapiens, a creature unlike anything the world had ever known. The mental gap between man and ape is immense, and yet evolution bridged that gap in so short a space of time. Since the brain is the organ of the mind, it is natural to assume that during the evolution of our hominid ancestors there were changes in the brain that can account for this gap. This book is a search for those changes. It is not...

The Neurobiology of the Prefrontal Cortex
ISBN: 9780199552917 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 424 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The prefrontal cortex makes up almost a third 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 our ancestors could overcome periodic food shortages. This evolutionary development laid the foundation for working out problems in our imagination, which resulted in the origin of insights that allow humans to avoid errors...

A Short Guide to Brain Imaging: The Neuroscience of Human Cognition
ISBN: 9780198709138 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Brain imaging has revolutionised the field of Psychology - once more concerned with IQ tests, reaction times and questionnaires. Most Psychology departments now have access to an MRI scanner - some have even renamed themselves as departments of cognitive neuroscience. Yet brain imaging can be a minefield, whichever discipline you approach it from. If you are a psychologist, you will have been taught how to do behavioural experiments, but may know little neuroanatomy or neurophysiology. If you are a neurologist or psychiatrist, then you may know the neuroanatomy and neurophysiology, but not...

The Neurobiology of the Prefrontal Cortex: Anatomy, Evolution, and the Origin of Insight
ISBN: 9780198714699 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. 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 modern humans could overcome periodic food shortages. These developments laid the foundation for working out problems in our imagination, which resulted in the insights that allow humans to avoid errors...

The Frontal Lobes and Voluntary Action
ISBN: 9780198523642 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book succinctly demonstrates how the brain's frontal lobe is specialized for directing voluntary action. Using data from monkeys, neurological patients, and normal subjects, the author presents a flow diagram of frontal lobe operations at the systems level. Topics include the various definitions of the term "voluntary" in a neuropsychological context, how the motor cortex provides a mechanism for the execution of voluntary behavioral actions, and how the premotor areas play a role in the selection of the movements to be performed. The text also shows how the prefrontal cortex is engaged...

Cognitive Neuroscience: A Very Short Introduction
ISBN: 9780198786221 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. Up to the 1960s, psychology was deeply under the influence of behaviourism, which focused on stimuli and responses, and regarded consideration of what may happen in the mind as unapproachable scientifically. This began to change with the devising of methods to try to tap into what was going on in the 'black box' of the mind, and the development of 'cognitive psychology'. With the study of patients who had suffered brain damage or injury to limited parts of the brain, outlines of brain components and processes began to take shape, and by the end of the 1970s, a new science, cognitive...
