9780262061711: Memory in the Cerebral Cortex: An Approach to Neural Networks in the Human and Nonhuman Primate

Synopsis

Spanning the field from neuroanatomy to modeling, Fuster brings together all that is currently known about the role of the cerebral cortex of the primate in memory with the intent of substantiating or refuting current ideas of neural memory, including his own. He focuses almost entirely on the neocortex, "the seat of human experience," where individual memory is deposited and represented, and offers a new taxonomy of memory that accommodates the rapidly changing nature of the field and the various disciplines involved.
