An accessible resource to the structure and chemistry of the brain explains how its systems shape our perceptions, feelings, and behaviors, while outlining the author's theory of the dynamic interaction between the four major brain systems. Reprint. 25,000 first printing.

Perception, Attention, and the Four Theaters of the Brain

A User's Guide to the Brain

Recent research has shown that dyslexics and dysphasics exhibit a reduced brain capacity to process fast rates of information flow. This volume focuses on the neuronal mechanisms for rapid temporal information processing and the critical importance of timing in speech, language and reading.

Temporal Information Processing in the Nervous System

This book, the seventh in the series 'Research and Perspectives in Neuroscience', contains the procedings of a meeting that was held in Paris on October14, 1996. The conference consisted of invited papers and poster presentations. The invited papers, included in this volume, were on cell proliferation prior to neuronal migration, on cellular and molecular factors characteristic of neuronal migration, and on postmigrational neuronal and axonal plasticity. There was a section devoted to disorders of neuronal migration and plasticity and the genetics of some developmental disorders. Great strides have been made in this relatively young branch of modern neuroscience.
