The Role of Eye Movements in Perceptual Processes
ISBN: 9780444890054 / Angielski / Twarda / 346 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22-25 dni roboczych. It has become a truism that the frozen optical diagram representation of vision is the worst possible picture of the way in which we visually interact with the environment. Even apart from our reaction to moving targets by pursuit movements, our visual behaviour can be said to be characterised by eye movements. We sample from our environment in a series of relatively brief fixations which move from one point to another in a series of extremely rapid jerks known as saccades. Many questions arising from this characteristic of vision are explored within this volume, including the question of how...

Relaxin and Related Peptides : Fourth International Conference, Volume 1041
ISBN: 9781573314855 / Angielski / Miękka / 544 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22-25 dni roboczych. Relaxin is a protein hormone, produced and secreted during pregnancy in mammalian species, having superficial structural features resembling those of insulin. Since its initial isolation from the ovaries of pregnant pigs in 1976, increasing interest in relaxin has led to increased understanding of the chemistry, synthesis, secretion, biological roles, mechanisms of action, and potential clinical applications of relaxin in humans and domestic animals.
In pigs, rats, and mice, relaxin promotes growth and softening of the cervix, enabling rapid and safe delivery of the fetuses. In... Relaxin is a protein hormone, produced and secreted during pregnancy in mammalian species, having superficial structural features resembling those of ...

Music as Biology: The Tones We Like and Why
ISBN: 9780674545151 / Angielski / Twarda / 164 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22-25 dni roboczych. The universality of musical tones has long fascinated philosophers, scientists, musicians, and ordinary listeners. Why do human beings worldwide find some tone combinations consonant and others dissonant? Why do we make music using only a small number of scales out of the billions that are possible? Why do differently organized scales elicit different emotions? Why are there so few notes in scales? In Music as Biology, Dale Purves argues that biology offers answers to these and other questions on which conventional music theory is silent. When people and animals vocalize,...

The Midbrain Periaqueductal Gray Matter: Functional, Anatomical, and Neurochemical Organization
ISBN: 9780306440335 / Angielski / Twarda / 473 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book constitutes the proceedings of a NATO Advanced Research Workshop held at Chateau de Bonas (France) from 10-15 July 1990 on the Midbrain Periaqueductal Gray Matter (PAG). The aim of this meeting was to review and integrate our knowledge about the functional, anatomical and neuro chemical organization of the PAG. The PAG has been the subject of many investi gations during the last decade usually on different topics (e.g., pain modulation, defensive and sexual behavior) and generally there has been little interchange between the different research areas. The main purpose of this...

The Retina : An Approachable Part of the Brain, Revised Edition
ISBN: 9780674061545 / Angielski / Twarda / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22-25 dni roboczych. John Dowling's The Retina, published in 1987, quickly became the most widely recognized introduction to the structure and function of retinal cells. In this Revised Edition, Dowling draws on twenty-five years of new research to produce an interdisciplinary synthesis focused on how retinal function contributes to our understanding of brain mechanisms. The retina is a part of the brain pushed out into the eye during development. It retains many characteristics of other brain regions and hence has yielded significant insights on brain mechanisms. Visual processing begins there as... John Dowling's The Retina, published in 1987, quickly became the most widely recognized introduction to the structure and function of retina... |
