The "e;functional"e; in the title of this book not only reflects my personal bias about neuroanatomy in brain research, it is also the gist of many chapters which describe sophisticated ways to resolve structures and interpret them as dynamic entities.
The original intent of the series Studies of Brain Function was to offer a forum to neurobiologists working in different fields to present some of their recent results in a more extensive way.
This booklet, together with the following two,-which are well under way and will succeed it at intervals of, we hope, no more than six months, sets the stage for a new editorial enterprise in the field of brain science.

Exploration and play behaviour form the subject of thisbook, in which a wide range of research activities, boththeoretical and practical, are presented from variousfields.
Stability of the internal environment in which neuronal elements are situated is unquestionably an important prerequisite for the effective transmission of information in the nervous system.
In the past 5 years there has been an enormous increase of evidence that the ion channels activated by mechanical force are common to a wide variety of cell types.
From its discovery in 1929 by Hans Berger until the late 1960s, when sensory visual and auditory evoked potentials were dis- covered and became popular, the EEG was the most important method of neurophysiological examination.
