Produktbeschreibung

Understanding brain functions, especially the neural mechanisms of higher cognitive processes such as thinking, reasoning, judging, and decision making, are the subjects covered by the chapters of this book. They describe recent progress in four major research areas: visual functions, motor functions, memory functions, and prefrontal functions. There are many color illustrations making this book an especially valuable resource for students and researchers in neuroscience.
