Memory and Brain. Questo articolo non è disponibile.Memory and Brain

Written by a leading neuropsychologist, this book brings together the widely scattered psychological and neurobiological work on memory to create a definitive overview of current knowledge. Reflecting the many levels of analysis at which this work is taking place, the book proceeds from the synapse to a review of the function and structure of neural systems and the organization of cognition. Throughout, the author places current research in historical perspective, and identifies major ideas and themes that have emerged in recent years in order to provide a solid foundation for future investigations. The book is amply illustrated and contains a useful glossary. It will be of use in advanced undergraduate and graduate courses on memory, and to psychologists and neuroscientists desiring an account of memory that is informed equally by cognitive and neurobiological insights.

I feel that this book is a valuable source for teachers, students, and researchers in cognitive science and cognitive neuroscience, because it gives a good account of the neurobiology of learning and memory and of the way in which such research underpins the clinical analysis of memory dysfunction in human beings.

Squire has written an excellent introduction to memory neuropsychology because the text is not only lucid, but makes no assumptions that should not be readily apparent to someone with a basic grounding in biology and psychology...this book can be recommended to students and researchers alike.
