Memory Mechanisms by K Geoffrey White

Memory Mechanisms by K Geoffrey White

Presenting the work of researchers who are at the forefront of the study of memory mechanisms, this volume addresses a wide range of topics including: physiological and biophysical studies of synaptic plasticity, neural models of information storage and recall, functional and structural considerations of amnesia in brain-damaged patients, and behavioral studies of animal cognition and memory. The book's coverage of diverse approaches to memory mechanisms is intended to help dissolve the borders between behavioral psychology, cognitive neuropsychology, and neurophysiology.

"..a useful contribution to our understanding of memory. Those memory researchers who are primarily involved in clinical research need, from time to time, to pay heed to basic biological findings, and this book serves a useful role in providing us with a helpful push in that direction."
