	Handbook of Neurochemistry and Molecular Neurobiology (Springer Reference) by Glen Baker (Author), Glen Baker;Susan Dunn;Andrew Holt;Abel Lajtha (Editor) The Handbook is intended to be a service to the neuroscience community, to help in finding available and useful information, to point out gaps in our knowledge, and to encourage continued studies. It represents the valuable contributions of the many authors of the chapters and the guidance of the editors and most important, it represents support for research in this discipline. Based on the rapid advances in the years since the second edition
	Genetic Control of Neuronal Migrations in Human Cortical Development (Advances in Anatomy, Embryology and Cell Biology) by Gundela Meyer (Author) The early steps in corticogenesis are decisive for the correct unfolding of neurogenesis, neuronal migration and differentiation under tight genetic control. In this monograph, the author outlines the main events in human preplate formation, the gradual transformation of the preplate into the cortical plate, and the establishment of the transient compartments of the foetal cortical wall. The main neuronal populations of the embryonic and foetal cortex are presented according to their timetable...
	The Evolving Brain: The Mind and the Neural Control of Behavior by C. H. Vanderwolf (Author) Present-day behavioral and cognitive neuroscience is based on the idea that the conventional philosophical theory of the mind provides a reliable guide to the functional organization of the brain. Consequently, much effort has been expended in a search for the neural basis of such psychological categories as memory, attention, emotion, motivation, and perception. This book argues that: conventional psychological concepts originate from the philosophical speculations of ancient Greek...

EDITORIAL REVIEWS

Product Description
This book presents a unified computational approach to understanding the structure, development, and function of the visual cortex. It reviews the current theories of the visual cortex and the biological data on which they are based, and presents a detailed analysis of the laterally connected self-organizing map model and results obtained to date. Together with the software package Topographica, it serves as a comprehensive foundation for future research in computational neuroscience of the visual cortex.

	Spikes: Exploring the Neural Code (Computational Neuroscience) by Fred Rieke (Author), David Warland (Author), Rob de Ruyter van Steveninck (Author), William Bialek (Author) "A joy to read. . . . This book will undoubtedly become a classic. The ideas presented in it have already begun (in no small part through the work of the authors) to reshape our views of the neural code. This book will make them accessible to a much wider audience." -- Anthony Zador, Science What does it mean to say that a certain set of spikes is the right answer to a computational problem? In what sense does a spike train convey information about the sensory world? Spikes begins...
	Theoretical Neuroscience: Computational and Mathematical Modeling of Neural Systems by Peter Dayan (Author), L. F. Abbott (Author) Theoretical neuroscience provides a quantitative basis for describing what nervous systems do, determining how they function, and uncovering the general principles by which they operate. This text introduces the basic mathematical and computational methods of theoretical neuroscience and presents applications in a variety of areas including vision, sensory-motor integration, development, learning, and memory. The book is divided into three parts. Part I discusses the...
	Semi-Supervised Learning (Adaptive Computation and Machine Learning) by Olivier Chapelle (Editor), Bernhard SchÃ¶lkopf (Editor), Alexander Zien (Editor) In the field of machine learning, semi-supervised learning (SSL) occupies the middle ground, between supervised learning (in which all training examples are labeled) and unsupervised learning (in which no label data are given). Interest in SSL has increased in recent years, particularly because of application domains in which unlabeled data are plentiful, such as images, text, and bioinformatics. This first comprehensive overview of SSL presents state-of-the-art algorithms, a taxonomy of the...
