Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book provides the results of an experiment that tested the effects of damage to various regions of the rat brain on both learning abilities and memory retention. The author begins by reviewing the history of research into brain function and intelligence, pointing out that while r…esearch has suggested a correlation between brain size, complexity of behavior, and intelligence within species, results have been clouded by methodological problems. Prior clinical studies of brain injuries, for instance, failed to account for the varying degree and location of damage and often yielded contradictory results. To remedy this, the author conducted a series of experiments on rats, meticulously controlling for as many variables as possible. The results quantitatively demonstrate that the extent of damage to the visual cortex of the rat brain has a direct effect on memory retention, but not on the learning process itself. These results suggest that the mechanism responsible for memory is not localized in a discrete part of the brain, but instead relies on the activity of the entire visual cortex. This challenges prevailing theories of brain function and intelligence at the time, and provides a valuable contribution to the understanding of brain function and its relation to behavior. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
