Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:With over four hundred new citations, Cognitive Neuroscience, Second Edition, embraces the latest findings in this cutting-edge field. A revised chapter two, "The Cellular and Molecular Basis of Cognition," introduces new analysis of the chemical systems that support cognition, outlines the modulation of neuronal transmission during development and disease, and increases coverage of the function of membrane receptors in neurochemistry. An entirely new chapter three, "Gross and Functional Anatomy of Cognition," provides a foundation for working through the functional analysis of cognitive systems in subsequent chapters. The Second Edition also includes extensive coverage of computational modeling, highlighting the ways in which modeling demonstrates the neural mechanisms of cognition. Book News Annotation:Synthesizing the study of cognitive science, behavioral neurology,
and behavioral neuroscience, this undergraduate textbook uses
clinical case studies to humanize the scientific content. Chapters
cover the history of the discipline, the cellular and molecular basis
of cognition, the gross and functional anatomy, methodology,
perception and encoding, selective attention and orientation,
learning and memory, language and the brain, cerebral lateralization
and specialization, the control of action, executive functions and
frontal lobes, emotion, evolution, development and plasticity, and
consciousness. A glossary is provided.
