ساخت حافظه: از مولکول‌ها تا ذهن

Combining a richly detailed account of scientists at work with a highly readable explanation of cutting-edge neuroscience, this book offers fascinating new insights on the cellular mechanisms of memory & learning. Acknowledgments The search for the Rosetta stone Reading the record Making memories Metaphors of memory Holes in the head, holes in the mind Animals also remember The evolution of memory Molecules of memory? God's organisms? flies, sea slugs & sea-horses Nobody here but us chickens Order, chaos, order: the fifth criterion The merits of velcro Interlude: laboratories are not enough Memories are made of this References Index The author retraces the road he and his fellow researchers have followed to a new understanding of the cellular mechanisms of memory and learning. Offers insights into the links between brain and mind and in our understanding of just how the elusive, mysterious, and extraordinary mind works In this discussion of the links between brain and mind, Steven Rose traces the road to a new understanding of memory that he and other researchers have followed, with all its false turnings and misleading signposts.
