The book introduces a radically new way of thinking about information and the important role it plays in living systems. It opens up new avenues for exploring how cells and organisms change and adapt, since the ability to detect and respond to meaningful information is the key t…
Contributors from psychology and nutrition, of course, but also other fields involving human health, explore the impact of the food people eat, and other substances they ingest, on brain function. They cover nutritional influence on brain development; diet, mood, and cognition; …
The influence of nutrition on cognition and behaviour is a topic of increasing interest. Emerging evidence indicates that nutrition in early life can influence later mental performance and that diet in later life can reduce cognitive decline. Lifetime nutritional influences on c…
In this book, the authors present current research in the study of hormones and behavior. Topics include the neuroendocrine regulation of sedation and excitation in neonatal chicks; the behavior of the mother and vasopressin; inhibited TRHergic pathway of amygdala and insular co…

From the Publisher: No organization can survive without iconoclasts -- innovators who single-handedly upturn conventional wisdom and manage to achieve what so many others deem impossible. Though indispensable, true iconoclasts are few and far between. In Iconoclast, neuroscienti…

Determining the biological bases for behaviour - and the extent to which we can observe and explain their neural underpinnings - requires a bold, broadly defined research methodology. The interdisciplinary entries in this handbook are organised around the principle of 'molecular…

This book is founded on lesions of cortical gray matter, but recently the contributions of cerebral white matter to cognitive and emotional dysfunction have also attracted attention. Christopher Filley surveys this broad and fascinating field from a clinical perspective. Stimula…
