Full Description
Written and edited by leading international authorities in the field, this book provides an in-depth review of knowledge of human hippocampus, and role of the hippocampus in memory, cognition and learning.
It includes informative chapters organized into two main groups: (1), fundamental information about the human hippocampus, including history, development, neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, neuropathology, structural and synaptic plasticity, volume, 3D visualition of the human hippocampus and etc.; and (2) role of the hippocampus in memory, cognition and learning, including role of the hippocampus in cognition, time and memory, learning and etc.
There are some unique features about this book: cross-references within chapters to highlight connections between development, anatomy, physiology, pathology, and surgery, real-world examples to illustrate key points and practical applications, summaries of the latest research to keep readers informed of cutting-edge developments.
Thus, this comprehensive reference book will be an ideal source for neuroscientists at all levels, from graduate students to researchers in specific disciplines studying this region including neurosurgeons, neurologists, neuroradiologists, neuroanatomists and psychiatrists who seek both basic and more advanced information regarding the human hippocampus.
