This comprehensive and detailed work covering the fascinatingly organized architecture and connections of the cerebral cortex. After establishing the evolutionary approach of the origin of the cerebral cortex, the authors have systematically analyzed, in detail, the common principle underlying the architecture and connections of sensory and motor systems. The frontal, limbic, and multimodal association areas, as well as the long fiber pathways, are thoroughly discussed. The anatomical investigations have been complimented with current clinical and experimental observations, as well as neuroimaging studies. This unique approach, exploring the underlying principle of the architecture and connections of the cerebral cortex, has previously never been undertaken. In the concluding chapter of the book, the authors have provided the usefulness of such an approach for future investigations. Filled with extensive illustrations and historical references to each sensory, motor, and association systems, this monograph is essential for academics seeking a deeper understanding of the cerebral cortex.
The text is enriched throughout by close attention to functional aspects of the anatomical observations."--Jacket.
Anand G. Mahindra, one of the most successful business men of India Inc., recently added another feather to his cap--Satyam Computer Services Ltd, which was counted as the fourth largest Information Technology (IT) services firm of India until the revelation of a financial fraud by its founder chairman. It was a risk that even the top three Indian IT companies of India avoided, but Anand Mahindra went ahead with the calculated risk of bidding for Satyam that turned out to be--historical and game changer-- in his own words. Venturbay Consultants Pvt Ltd, a subsidiary of Tech Mahindra Ltd., India's sixth largest software exporter outbid the diversified conglomerate Larsen & Toubro Ltd, U.S. ba...
It has become accepted in the neuroscience community that perception and performance are quintessentially multisensory by nature. Using the full palette of modern brain imaging and neuroscience methods, The Neural Bases of Multisensory Processes details current understanding in the neural bases for these phenomena as studied across species, stages
Captures the stories behind the work of the clinicians and scholars who have contributed significantly to neuropsychology's development.
This book presents an engaging account of a provocative new theory which explores how our brain generates conscious experience and where this occurs. It suggests that conscious experience happens not at the whole brain level but at the level of individual nerve cells. The notion that the brain as a whole is sentient is an illusion created by the exquisite organization of the individually conscious neurons. Despite appearances to the contrary, conscious behavior that seems to be the product of a single macroscopic mind is actually the integrated output of a chorus of microscopic minds, each associated with an individual neuron. The result is a theory that revolutionizes our conception of who and what we are.
