Circadian rhythms influence most of our life activities, notably getting up and going to sleep every day. The new edition of this book delves into the mechanisms surrounding how these rhythms work, the physiology and biology behind them, and the latest research on this cutting-edge field. The book a..

Designed primarily as an introduction to realistic modeling methods, Computational Neuroscience: Realistic Modeling for Experimentalists focuses on methodological approaches, selecting appropriate methods, and identifying potential pitfalls. What makes this resource unique is the inclusion of a CD-R..

Computer Vision is the first book to take a full approach to the challenging issue of veridical 3D object representation. It introduces mathematical and conceptual advances that offer an unprecedented framework for analyzing the complex scene structure of the world. Leading theorists cover full 3D s..

This combination manual and DVD provides much-needed training on the proper handling of rats used in biomedical research. The DVD includes narrated video clips that demonstrate and describe each procedural technique...

An in depth examination of maldynia, also known as chronic pain, this book explores pain as a bio-cultural phenomenon that necessitates reexamination of medical philosophy, ethics, education, and practice. It provides a historical account of pain and then frames it with contemporary neurobiological ..

Extensively updated and expanded, this second edition of a bestseller distills the current state-of-the-science and provides the nuts and bolts foundation of the methods involved in this rapidly growing science. With contributions from pioneering researchers, it includes microwire array design for c..

Addressing a rapidly growing area of neuroscience, Methods in Pain Research is a single volume survey of the methods used to study a reaction or 'sensory report' in humans that can only be inferred by indirect means in animal or tissues studies. It contains source material, useful advice, and guidan..

Modeling in the Neurosciences..

This book presents developments in motor cortex research that allow researchers to "read and interpret neural activity" and use the data to reconstruct movements. It focuses on how neuronal activity changes during learning, what the motor cortex encodes for, and the neuronal representations of volun..
