Publisher's Synopsis
Modelled on the classic "Neuroscience Study Program" volumes which helped define an evolving field, this text provides a reference that documents and defines the emerging field of cognitive neuroscience. The 92 original contributions provide comprehensive coverage - from the molecular level right up to human conscious experience - of one of the most interesting areas of modern science, namely the relationship between the structural and physiological mechanisms of the brain/nervous system and the psychological reality of mind.
