In this essay we propose a view of the cerebral cortex from an unusual angle, determined by our search for the most general statements on the relation between cortical structure and function.
Although just two years have passed since the first English edition of this book, advances in neurophysiology have dictated considerable revision of most of the chapters.
This book is a consequence of the suggestion that a major key to- ward understanding cognition in any advanced culture is to be found in the relationships between processing orthographies, lan- guage, and thought.
The investigation of the brain by means of ultrasound has acquired increasing importance in the last years because it permits insight into the spatial relationships within the intact human skull in a short time without endangering the patient.

Das Kliniktaschenbuch ist sowohl eine Einführung als auch ein Atlas der Reiz- und Registriermethoden aller evozierten Potentiale (VEP, SEP, AEP, MEP), der Hirnstammreflexe und der ereigniskorrelierten Potentiale (P300).
This book offers a comparative and interdisciplinary approach to excitation-contraction-coupling in smooth and striated mus- cles, including the myocardium.
The author of this remarkably comprehensive review, PIERRE DUSTIN, has performed an invaluable service in bringing to- gether in one volume the observations and theory on micro- tubules that have accumulated over the last fifteen years.
If we possessed a true, well established and undoubted theory concerning the function of the nerves in the human body, the principles of smell would be much easier to understand.
The purpose of this book is to provide basic reference material to facilitate the further development and application of the intracellular staining techniques which originated with the introduction of Procion dye as a neurocellular stain.
This volume has come about as a direct result of a Symposium entitled "e;Experimental Analysis of Insect Behaviour"e; which was an important con- tribution to the 14 International Congress of Entomology held in Canberra, Australia, in August 1972 under the joint sponsorship of the Australian Academy of Science and the Australian Entomological Society.
The presence of nerve cells in the white matter of the spinal cord and in the spinal and cranial nerves has attracted the attention of some researchers in the past.
Comparative neurological studies of the evolutionary development of struc- tures within the central nervous system of vertebrates have depended to a large extent upon morphological rather than functional criteria.
bhe aim of the book was not to focus the age-dependentmodifications of one specific biological systems orphenomena, but the attempt was pursued to cover severalfields in which the biological research on aging is goingon.
This book is a report of a four-day Symposium on the Biochemistry and Physiology of Visual Pigments, which took place immediately after the VIth International Congress on Photobiology, held in Bochum, Federal Republic of Germany, in August 1972.
Cajal and contemporary scientists have laid the basis of the modem concepts of the organization of the nervous system: the cir- cuits of the brain are made up of individual neurons which transfer information via specialized structures called synapses.
Although many books deal with isolated problems of calcium disturbance in relation to cardiac and cerebral function, this is the first to focus specifically on calcium metabolism and cerebral ischemia.
Following the overwhelmingly successful response to the first printing in hardcover, the hottest topics in Selective Neurotoxicity are now available in this special softcover edition"e;.
Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma is a rare thyroid tumororiginating from neural crest cells, the C-cell that impliesseveral special features, secretion of differentneuroendocrine markers, association with other endocrinetumors and familial appearance.
In the past few years, the Fondation IPSEN has been increasing its activity in the neurosciences, especially by supporting researchers working on Alzheimer's disease.
The great strides made in the field of morphological methods during the past decades have perhaps found their most spectacular expression in the functional exploration of the nervous system.
