Product Description
In 1992 Le Systeme Auditif Central. Anatomie et Physiologie was published in Paris. It was the only book of several recent treatises on the subject to present in a single volume the structure and function of the auditory system of mammals at a level suited for students as well as specialists in the field. The present English edition of this volume is more than just a translation of the original. Each of the five chapters has been throughly revised by the authors and editors, if not completely rewritten to assimilate the latest research advancements. The objective is to offer a single comprehensive source of knowledge and reference on the central auditory system. In chapters 2-5 the anatomy and physiology of sound processing in all parts of the central auditory system are presented, and, on that basis, the emergence of auditory functions is discussed. The first chapter is special, because it provides a concise oerview of the material detailed in the following chapters. Thus the volume serves both the student or researcher "in a hurry", needing a quick reference, and the reader with more specialized and detailed interest in the subject. |

Excellent in depth book on auditory CNS  5 Stars
August 17, 2000
This is an excellent book for those interested in the neurophysiologic detail of how our brains process sound. It is an advanced level textbook suitable for auditory researchers, though the first chapter would be an excellent text for an undergraduate level course.

| From Sound to Synapse: Physiology of the Mammalian Ear
by C. Daniel Geisler (Author)
This comprehensive introduction to the functions of the mammalian ear describes the major steps by which sound is transformed into nerve impulses. The author leads the reader along the pathway followed by the acoustic signal. He starts with the collection of sound by the outer ear, proceeds to its transfer by the middle ear, and finally analyzes its modification in the inner ear, where the sound waves are transformed into nerve impulses. The book concludes with descriptions of some common ear...
