This volume focuses on several areas of the neurobiology of learning and memory in which there have been important developments in recent years. The areas of focus are emotion and memory, ageing and memory, cortical plasticity and memory, and LTP and memory.

Brain and Memory Summary

Brain and Memory: Modulation and Mediation of Neuroplasticity by James L. McGaugh

This book looks at what we have learned over the last century in attempting to discover how the brain enables us to acquire, retain, and use information based on experiences. The major central questions are: What processes underlie the formation of new memories? What processes determine the strength of memories? Where are the changes underlying memory located?

Much of the material can be found scattered elsewhere, but there are at least two advantages of having it collected in this volume: the juxtapositioning of straight neuroscience and biomedical research, and the way the authors have structured an interplay of research reports with commentaries.--The Quarterly Review of Biology Much of the material can be found scattered elsewhere, but there are at least two advantages of having it collected in this volume: the juxtapositioning of straight neuroscience and biomedical research, and the way the authors have structured an interplay of research reports with commentaries.--The Quarterly Review of Biology
