This book-Mind, Body, and Digital Brains-focuses on both theoretical and empirical issues and joins contributions from different disciplines, concepts, and sensibilities, bringing together scholars from fields that at first glance may appear different-Neuroscience and Cognitive Neuroscience; Robotics, Computer Science, Deep Learning, and Information Processing Systems; Education, Philosophy, Law, and Psychology.
This book draws on advances in computational neuroscience and theoretical biology to provide a clear and accessible agentive account of the nature of causality and scientific explanations.
Kognitive Leistungen – Wahrnehmung, Aufmerksamkeitssteuerung, Gedächtnisbildung, Entscheidungsfindung, Handlungskontrolle oder Syntaxanalyse – entstehen in einem Nervensystem, dessen Elemente nur wenige Funktionseigenschaften besitzen.
Kognitive Leistungen wie Lernen, Kreativität und intelligente Planung unseres Verhaltens zeichnen unser Selbstverständnis als Menschen aus und sind für uns buchstäblich selbstverständlich.
dieser neue Band soll dem angehenden Neurowissenschaftler einen Überblick über Fragestellungen und Methoden der neurowissenschaftlichen Forschung geben.
Foreword Barry Jacobs once memorably commented that the problem in understanding the role of serotonin in the brain was that it was implicated in virtually eve- thing but responsible for nothing [1].
Recent research indicates that the immune system and inflammatory reactions are governed and regulated by powerful neuronal mediators derived from the central and peripheral nervous system.
Despite tremendous advances in the understanding of the sensory nervous system which have accompanied the recent explosive growth of the neurosciences, rema- ably few innovative medicines directed towards pain and inflammation are ava- able.
In recent years, cannabis research has concentrated on the potential of cannabinoids as therapeutic substances, particularly in serious chronic illnesses such as multiple sclerosis.
Alcoholism is a pathological behavioural syndrome, characterised by comp- sive alcohol use, craving and relapses, even recurring after many years of abstinence.
Esoterik und Naturalismus als Bedrohung für Freiheit und AufklärungHomöopathen versprechen uns eine 'Medizin der Zukunft', Anthroposophen eine 'Erweiterung der naturwissenschaftlichen Medizin', Hirnforscher ein 'neues Menschenbild', Neurophilosophen eine 'neue Art von Ethik'.
Brains and Machines: Towards a unified Ethics of AI and Neuroscience provides a comprehensive overview of concepts and ethical issues at the intersection of two emerging technological trends in the 21st century: AI and neurotechnology.
The publication of the Vth International Symposium 1995 on "e;Mechanisms of Secondary Brain Damage"e; in Mauls/ltaly is a collection of focused reviews reaching from novel molecular- and cell biological findings to aspects of clinical management in head injury and cerebral ischemia.
This volume contains selected contributions from the XIth Meeting of the European Society for Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery held in September 1994 in Antalyaffurkey.
Das Buch behandelt die neuesten Methoden und Ergebnisse der Darstellung von Hirnfunktionen und ihren krankheitsbedingten Störungen sowie die Möglichkeit, Struktur und Funktion einzelner Hirnstrukturen in Beziehung zu setzen.
Monoamine oxidase plays a major role in the pathogenesis of neuropsychiatric disorders including depressive illness, Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease.
The role of the metals copper, zinc, magnesium, lead, manganese, mercury, lithium and aluminium in neuropsychiatric disease are well known and has been discussed on several occasions.
These proceedings from the Xth Congress of the European Society for Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery in Stockholm reflect the growing interest in these fields of neurosurgery.
Scrapie, a naturally occurring neurodegenerative disease of sheep and sometimes goats, is a prototypic disease for the whole group of the subacute spongiform virus encephalopathies.
Schizophrenia has been the subject of intense research interest in recent years, as investigators have explored the biological bases for the disorder and for various approaches to its diagnosis and treatment.
Positron Emission Tomography (PET) has been used for a decade in psychiatric research to study regional brain glucose metabolism, and the results seem to be inconsistent.
