Learning and memory : mechanisms of information storage in the nervous system : proceedings of the VIIth International Neurobiological Symposium, Magdeburg, October 28th-November 2nd, 1985

Hardbound. The Magdeburg Neurobiological Symposia have been run since 1967, and in that time have reflected the growth and divergence of neurobiology. This volume covers the neurobiology of learning, memory and neuronal plasticity, and includes contributions from an international group of attendees who reflect the interdisciplinary nature of the subject. The book is divided into four sections: synaptic long-term potentiation, hippocampal functions, biochemistry of memory formation and principles, and modification of learning and memory, and constitutes the most up-to-date research currently being carried out in this important field Content: ADVANCES IN THE BIOSCIENCES , Page ii Front Matter , Page iii Copyright , Page iv Participants , Pages xi-xiii Opening Remarks , Pages 1-2 , H.

Organized into four sections, this book first elucidates the synaptic long-term potentiation. Section II explores hippocampal functions, and Section III describes the biochemistry of memory formation. The last section addresses the principles and modification of learning behavior.
