The Integrative Functions of The Basal Ganglia
Crc Press Inc (Verlag)
978-1-4987-6869-6 (ISBN)
This volume is the first comprehensive and single-authored book on the functions of the basal ganglia. The goal is to provide a new synthesis of diverse areas of research on the basal ganglia, from cellular mechanisms of synaptic transmission and plasticity to neural circuit mechanisms underlying behavior. A global theory of basal ganglia function incorporating research from the last 40 years is presented. I hope to explain for the first time how the basal ganglia generate behavior, how they contribute to learning and memory, and how impairments in basal ganglia function can lead to neurological and psychiatric disorders.
Features
The only single-authored book on the basal ganglia with coverage of the latest literature
Spans multiple levels of analysis, from cellular physiology to behavior
Includes coverage of clinical symptoms, encompassing neuropsychology, movement disorders, and psychiatric disorders
Discusses the role of the basal ganglia in learning and memory
Henry Yin is currently a professor of Psychology and Neuroscience at Duke University. Yin received his B.A. from Washington University in St Louis and his Ph.D. from UCLA. Yin’s research has, from the very start, focused on the function of the basal ganglia, combining different levels of analysis, from cellular to behavioral mechanisms. He has published over 50 papers on various aspects of basal ganglia function.
