1. Principles of Neural Coding

   Edited by Rodrigo Quian Quiroga, Stefano Panzeri

   Understanding how populations of neurons encode information is the challenge faced by researchers in the field of neural coding. Focusing on the many mysteries and marvels of the mind has prompted a prominent team of experts in the field to put their heads together and fire up a book on the subject...

2. Spike Timing

   Mechanisms and Function

   Edited by Patricia M. DiLorenzo, Jonathan D. Victor

   Series: Frontiers in Neuroscience

   Neuronal communication forms the basis for all behavior, from the smallest movement to our grandest thought processes. Among the many mechanisms that support these functions, spike timing is among the most powerful and—until recently—perhaps the least studied. In the last two decades, however, the...

3. Neuromorphic Olfaction

   Edited by Krishna C. Persaud, Santiago Marco, Agustin Gutierrez-Galvez

   Series: Frontiers in Neuroengineering Series

   Many advances have been made in the last decade in the understanding of the computational principles underlying olfactory system functioning. Neuromorphic Olfaction is a collaboration among European researchers who, through NEUROCHEM (Fp7-Grant Agreement Number 216916)—a challenging and innovative...

4. Computational Neuroscience

   Simulated Demyelinating Neuropathies and Neuronopathies

   By Diana Ivanova Stephanova, Bozhidar Dimitrov Kolev

   This book covers the computer simulation of demyelinating neuropathies and neuronopathies and compares models with clinical findings. Through the approximation of nerve excitation and conduction, the authors show how the versatile structure of nerve fibers relates to different modes of focal...

5. Advances in Natural Medicines, Nutraceuticals and Neurocognition

   Edited by Con Kerry Kenneth Stough, Andrew Scholey

   Great strides have been made in the field of natural medicine with respect to neurocognition. Once limited to the province of niche publications, these discoveries are now routinely explored in mainstream psychopharmacology, neuroscience, nutrition, and medical journals. Now presented in one...

6. The Equilibrium of Human Syntax

   Symmetries in the Brain

   By Andrea Moro

   Series: Routledge Leading Linguists

   This book assembles a collection of papers in two different domains: formal syntax and neurolinguistics. Here Moro provides evidence that the two fields are becoming more and more interconnected and that the new fascinating empirical questions and results in the latter field cannot be obtained...

7. Routledge Handbook of Motor Control and Motor Learning

   Edited by Albert Gollhofer, Wolfgang Taube, Jens Bo Nielsen

   Series: Routledge International Handbooks

   The Routledge Handbook of Motor Control and Motor Learning is the first book to offer a comprehensive survey of neurophysiological, behavioural and biomechanical aspects of motor function. Adopting an integrative approach, it examines the full range of key topics in contemporary human movement...

8. The Laboratory Rat, Second Edition

   By Patrick Sharp, Jason Villano

   Series: Laboratory Animal Pocket Reference

   Rats have long been recognized as a valuable biomedical research model, notably in the investigation of aging, toxicology, addiction, and common human diseases such as diabetes and hypertension. In many instances, individuals conducting such research studies are charged with important...

9. Transcranial Brain Stimulation

   Edited by Carlo Miniussi, Walter Paulus, Paolo M. Rossini

   Series: Frontiers in Neuroscience

   Since the discovery of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcranial electrical stimulation (tES), these non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) techniques have been used to investigate the state of cortical excitability, and the excitability of the cortico-cortical and corticospinal...

10. Neurons and the DHA Principle

    By Raymond C. Valentine, David L. Valentine

    Studies with bacteria and other systems suggest that the omega-3 fatty acid DHA confers great benefits to neurons in maximizing both speed of neural impulses and energy efficiency. Unfortunately, studies also show that DHA’s ease of oxidation damages membrane integrity. Exploring this duality,...
