Description
This major new publishing event provides the first up-to-date, cutting-edge, comprehensive reference work combining volumes on all major
sensory modalities in one set in three decades. Under the guidance of a distinguished team of international experts, 6 volumes collected
300 articles from all the top scientists laying out our current knowledge on the anatomy, physiology, and molecular biology of sensory
organs. Topics covered include the perception, psychophysics, and higher order processing of sensory information, as well as disorders
and new diagnostic and treatment methods.
Written for a wide audience, this reference work provides students, scholars, medical doctors,
and anyone interested in neuroscience a comprehensive overview of the knowledge accumulated on the function of sense organs, sensory
systems, and how the brain processes sensory input. Leading scholars from around the world contributed articles, making
The Senses
a truly international portrait of sensory physiology. The set is the definitive reference on sensory neuroscience on the market, and
will provide the ultimate entry point into the review and original literature in Sensory Neuroscience, and be a natural place for interested
students and scientists to deepen their knowledge.
Audience:
Neuroscientists, cognitive neuroscientists, and psychologists.
