This is a book for those deconstructing their religious, nationalistic, socioeconomic, and occupational identities, and the subsequent stories we've come to believe about what kind of world we live in.
En esta obra el autor plantea con sencillez la oportunidad de comprender el mundo onrico, siempre rechazando smbolos universales, ya que nicamente la propia persona puede darle el verdadero significado a lo que suea.
A major problem in understanding how the nervous system works deals with the coversion of the physical nerve structures and impulses to the psychophysical sensations and feelings.
Recording memories, mind reading, videotaping our dreams, mind control, avatars, and telekinesis - no longer are these feats of the mind solely the province of overheated science fiction.
The fundamental principles that explain the heretofore mysterious phenomena of consciousness are: (1) Consciousness is energies of the environment, and energies developed in intrafusal muscle spindles are conscious experience, and (2) the experience occurring as the developed energies, depending on purpose and intensity, are detected by muscle receptors.
This book is a concise guide into the everchanging and complex discipline of neuroscience for those students who are looking for clarity in a complex subject.
Es ist eines der größten und aufwändigsten Forschungsprojekte derzeit: die Erfassung und Entschlüsselung des Konnektoms – der Gesamtheit neuronaler Verknüpfungen des Menschen.
A pesar de los avances de la neurociencia y de las ciencias cognitivas en los últimos cincuenta años, el estudio de la percepción abarca un campo en el que todavía no se dispone de una teoría unificada desde la cual se pueda dar cuenta de todos los fenómenos y procesos involucrados.
Esta obra busca explicar los fundamentos neuronales de la personalidad, asi como los de algunas afecciones y fenomenos que influyen en nuestra conducta.
The brain is the organ that collects information from the environment, processes and stores the information, and generates behavior as and when needed.
The Handbook is intended to be a service to the neuroscience community, to help in finding available and useful information, to point out gaps in our knowledge, and to encourage continued studies.
From the world's foremost neuroscientist of romantic love comes a personal story of connection and heartbreak that brings new understanding to an old truth: it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.
"e;How can a three-pound mass of jelly that you can hold in your palm imagine angels, contemplate the meaning of infinity, and even question its own place in the cosmos?

This volume of the Handbook of Neurochemistry and Molecular Neurobiology characterizes pathologies resulting from traumatic brain and spinal cord injury as well as various neurodegenerative diseases, demyelinating diseases, viral infection, nervous system tumors, and neuropathies.
In the animal nervous system, a very high metabolic turnover, fragile but steep ionic gradients, and morphological and structural constraints - dictated by the necessity for prompt neuronal transmission of electrical impulses and necessary plasticity - result in a highly fragile organ system.
The human brain is an impossibly complex and delicate instrument - capable of extraordinary calculations, abundant creativity and linguistic dexterity.
The Handbook is intended to be a service to the neuroscience community, to help in finding available and useful information, to point out gaps in our knowledge, and to encourage continued studies.
