Produktbeschreibung

Mechanisms of Memory, Third Edition, is the only available comprehensive overview of the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying higher-order learning and memory. Focusing on mechanisms relevant to hippocampus-dependent memory formation, the book progresses systematically from behavior to cellular physiology at molecular and genetic levels. Moreover, it integrates modern discoveries concerning learning and memory disorders, from inherited disorders, to aging and psychiatric disorders. The book emphasizes results from the cutting-edge of contemporary methodologies, such as genetic engineering, molecular biology, complex behavioral characterization, cellular physiology, epigenetics and molecular structure. This updated edition has been expanded to include eight new chapters covering the role of the prefrontal cortex in short-term and working memory, recent discoveries regarding the CNS dopamine system and its implications for reward-based learning, glial cell function in memory formation, the role of altered protein synthesis in long-term memory formation, AMPA receptor trafficking and regulation, and the role of epigenetics in memory formation. This new release continues to be the standard work on all aspects of learning and memory. As such, it is essential reading for students and researchers alike.
