Description
The study of Learning and Memory is a central topic in Neuroscience and Psychology. It is also a very good example of a field that has
come into maturity on all levels - in the protein chemistry and molecular biology of the cellular events underlying learning and memory,
the properties and functions of neuronal networks, the psychology and behavioural neuroscience of learning and memory. Many of the basic
research findings are directly applicable in the treatment of diseases and aging phenomena, and have found their way into educational
theory and praxis.
Learning and Memory - A comprehensive reference is the most comprehensive source of information about learning
and memory ever assembled, and the definitive reference work on the topic. In four volumes, Editor-in-Chief John H. Byrne (University
of Texas), together with volume editors Howard Eichenbaum (Boston University) for Systems and Neuroscience, Randolf Menzel (Freie Universitat
Berlin) for Behavioral Approaches, Henry Roediger (Washington University) for Cognitive Psychology, and David Sweatt (University of Alabama,
Birmingham) for Molecular Mechanisms, have put together a truly authoritative collection of overview articles in 159 chapters on over
3000 pages. Learning and Memory - A Comprehensive Reference presents an extensive, integrated summary of the present state of
research in the neurobiology and psychology of learning and memory and covers an enormous range of intellectual territory. With topics
ranging from the neurochemistry and neurobiology of learning at the cellular and synaptic levels, systems neurobiology, the study of
remarkable capabilities in animals (such as homing), ethological and behavioristic analyses, mechanisms, psychology, and disorders of
learning and memory in humans, the work broadly covers all topics in the neurobiology and psychology of learning and memory. There is
no other handbook with such a comprehensive coverage and depth. The authors selected are the leading scholars for the particular topics
on which they write.
