Micro-, Meso- and Macro-Dynamics of the Brain
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-319-80429-3 (ISBN)
The individual chapters cover several fascinating facets of contemporary neuroscience from elementary computation of neurons, mesoscopic network oscillations, internally generated assembly sequences in the service of cognition, large-scale neuronal interactions within and across systems, the impact of sleep on cognition, memory, motor-sensory integration, spatial navigation, large-scale computation and consciousness. Each of these topics require appropriate levels of analyses with sufficiently high temporal and spatial resolution of neuronal activity in both local and global networks, supplemented by models and theories to explain how different levels of brain dynamics interact with each other and how the failure of such interactions results in neurologic and mental disease. While suchcomplex questions cannot be answered exhaustively by a dozen or so chapters, this volume offers a nice synthesis of current thinking and work-in-progress on micro-, meso- and macro- dynamics of the brain.
Hippocampal mechanisms for the segmentation of space by goals and boundaries.- Cortical Evolution: Introduction to the Reptilian Cortex.- Flow of information underlying a tactile decision in mice.- The Visual Brain: Computing through Multiscale Complexity.- Grid cells and spatial maps in entorhinal cortex and hippocampus.- The striatum and decision-making based on value.- Decoding the dynamics of conscious perception: The temporal generalization method.- Sleep and synaptic down-selection.- Federating and integrating what we know about the brain at all scales - a challenge for the future. Computer science meets the clinical neurosciences.
"This is an excellent book on the biophysics and physiology of the cerebral cortex of reptiles, mammals, primates, and human subjects. ... I recommend this book for students, scientists, neurophysiologists, Neurologists, and anyone involved in brain research." (Joseph Grenier, Amazon.com, June, 2018)
