Joaquin M. Fuster Bücher

Joaquín M. Fuster presents the insights of more than three decades of empirical research on the neural processes by which memory is formed, stored, and retrieved. In Memory in the Cerebral Cortex, Joaquín M. Fuster presents the insights of more than three decades of empirical research on the neural processes by which memory is formed, stored, and retrieved. Spanning the field from neuroanatomy to modeling, this book brings together all that we presently know about the role of the cerebral cortex of the primate in memory.

Presenting a synthesis of cognitive neuroscience, this work is structured over theoretical and empirical base. Five major cognitive functions, perception, memory, attention, language, and intelligence, are analysed from the perspectives of neurobiology and cognitive science.

The Third Edition of this highly acclaimed work has been revised and expanded to reflect recent advances in our knowledge of the structure and functions of the prefrontal cortex. Highlights of this edition include a new chapter on neuroimaging and state-of-the-art information on computer modeling. In the light of new evidence examined in this edition--particularly extensive new data from imaging studies--Dr. Fuster formulates more precisely his theoretical views on prefrontal function, emphasizing the essential role of the prefrontal cortex in the temporal organization of behavior.
