The Anatomy of Manual Dexterity
The New Connectivity of the Primate Sensorimotor Thalamus and Cerebral Cortex
Language: English
Release Date: December 6, 2012
1 Purpose and Plan of This Review This review is focused on the topography and connections of some of the neuron populations that determine the manual dexterity of the macaque monkey. The populations selected for examination are the following: 1. The corticospinal neuron populations 2. The thalamocortical...
Microstructural Parcellation of the Human Cerebral Cortex
From Brodmann's Post-Mortem Map to in Vivo Mapping with High-Field Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Language: English
Release Date: July 4, 2013
Unraveling the functional properties of structural elements in the brain is one of the fundamental goals of neuroscientific research. In the cerebral cortex this is no mean feat, since cortical areas are defined microstructurally in post-mortem brains but functionally in living brains with electrophysiological...

This volume will explore the most recent findings on cellular mechanisms of inhibitory plasticity and its functional role in shaping neuronal circuits, their rewiring in response to experience, drug addiction and in neuropathology. Inhibitory Synaptic Plasticity will be of particular interest to neuroscientists and neurophysiologists.
The Middle Ear
Science, Otosurgery, and Technology
Language: English
Release Date: March 19, 2013
The middle ear plays a vital role in the sense and sensitivity of hearing. Of the various characteristics that distinguish mammals from other vertebrates, several pertain specifically to the middle-ear system, such as the presence of three middle-ear bones and the four-layer composite structure of...
Referent control of action and perception
Challenging conventional theories in behavioral neuroscience
Language: English
Release Date: June 18, 2015
Empirical data on neural control of motor action and perception have not yet been put into the context of a coherent theory. Dr. Feldman's goal for the proposed book is to illustrate that the field is now at a stage where the data can be used to formulate some core principles that underlie action...
