This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware - The Neuronal Codes of the Cerebellum provides the most updated information on what is known on the topics of the cerebellum's anatomy and single cell physiology, two areas where there has been a gap in knowledge regarding the specific codes it uses to process information internally and convey commands to other brain regions. This has created difficulties for researchers and clinicians looking to develop an understanding of the mechanisms by which it contributes to behavior and how its dysfunction causes neurological symptoms. Focused on findings related to the neuronal code used by cerebellar neurons for the representation of behavioral and sensory processes, this edited volume will aid scientists in overcoming that knowledge gap, also serving as the first resource to broadly address the different aspects of spike coding in the cerebellum that focuses on spike train analysis. 280 pp. Englisch.

Riassunto

The Neuronal Codes of the Cerebellum provides the most updated information on what is known on the topics of the cerebellum's anatomy and single cell physiology, two areas where there has been a gap in knowledge regarding the specific codes it uses to process information internally and convey commands to other brain regions. This has created difficulties for researchers and clinicians looking to develop an understanding of the mechanisms by which it contributes to behavior and how its dysfunction causes neurological symptoms.

Focused on findings related to the neuronal code used by cerebellar neurons for the representation of behavioral and sensory processes, this edited volume will aid scientists in overcoming that knowledge gap, also serving as the first resource to broadly address the different aspects of spike coding in the cerebellum that focuses on spike train analysis.

Informazioni sull?autore

Associate Professor for UTHSC’s Dept. of Anatomy and Neurobiology, as well as a Visiting Scientist at The Salk Institute for Biological Studies and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. Dr. Heck's primary research foci are the neuronal foundations of motor/cognitive brain functions and their disorders and the role of coordinated dynamic brain activity in normal and pathological brain function. He serves as Associate Editor for Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, Review Editor for Frontiers in Neurogenomics, and Editorial Board member for Neuroscience. He was Organizer/Chair for the 2013 SFN symposium on Neuronal Codes and has authored numerous journal articles and book chapters on topics directly related to the proposed.
