The study of learning and memory is a central topic in neuroscience and psychology.

Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, often cited as 5-HT) is one of the major excitatory neurotransmitter, and the serotonergic system is one of the best studied and understood transmitter systems.

This volume presents a variety of studies relating to the reach to grasp movement and provides a necessary and valuable contribution to the field of motor control.

The simple task of grasping objects has been studied for centuries by scientists, therapists and engineers who have tried to understand and duplicate the versatility of the human hand.

The intent of this book is to describe those perceptual and cognitive components which contribute to skilled motor performance in a wide variety of disciplines, including sports, microsurgery, video games, and speech.

Our lives are informed by perceptual and cognitive processes at all levels, from instrumental learning to metaphorical discourse to memorial representation.

Is there a `right way' to study coordination?

The major focus of this book is on the differences between ecological approaches to action (`action theories'), and theories on motor control and learning couched in terms of information processing (`motor theories').

This volume is the outcome of an international symposium held in Berlin, FRG, which brought together researchers in the field of infant development.

Cognition and Memory

The objective of the series has always been to provide a forum in which leading contributors to an area can write about significant bodies of research in which they are involved.

The rate of neurodevelopmental disabilities, including autism, mental retardation, hearing loss and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is rising in the United States.

The Handbook of Stress and the Brain focuses on the impact of stressful events on the functioning of the central nervous system; how stress affects molecular and cellular processes in the brain, and in turn, how these brain processes determine our perception of and reactivity to, stressful challenges - acutely and in the long-run.

A textbook for psychology, neuroscience, pre-medical students, and everybody interested in the neuroscience of cognition.

Interest in the concept of time has a long history and has been a topic of study for a wide range of investigators.

That time is both a dimension of behaviour and a ubiquitous controlling variable in the lives of all living things has been well recognized for many years.

Stimulus class formation has been studied independently by two groups of researchers.

In the study of the computational structure of biological/robotic sensorimotor systems, distributed models have gained center stage in recent years, with a range of issues including self-organization, non-linear dynamics, field computing etc.

Perceptual and Cognitive Development illustrates how the developmental approach yields fundamental contributions to our understanding of perception and cognition as a whole.

An explosion of advances in the area of tactile perception and pain led to the development of this comprehensive, state-of-the-art text on basic research and clinical practice.

Zuckerman received his Ph.

One of the largest patient populations seen by neuropsychologists are older adults suffering from problems associated with aging.

This volume evolved from a workshop which addressed the general area of motor control, and the broader problems of serial organisation and sensory-motor integration of human skills.

The study of language has increasingly become an area of interdisciplinary interest.

Psychoneuroimmunology investigates the relationships between behavior, psychosocial factors, the nervous, endocrine, and immune systems, and disease.

Life scientists have long been familiar with the notion of interference and inhibition in biological systems 3/4 most notably in the neuron.
