About this title

Synopsis

Explore how primates' brains process the world: the central visual, auditory, and touch pathways unfold with clear, methodical investigation.

This classic study maps the three main afferent fiber systems in the primate cerebral cortex. Based on experiments with monkeys, it traces the central portions of somatic sensory, auditory, and visual paths from thalamic origins to their cortical terminations. The work emphasizes how these pathways organize, how they project to specific cortical areas, and what this means for understanding sensation and perception. Rich with figures and detailed descriptions, it offers a foundational look at brain pathways that shape mind and behavior.

Learn how the visual system travels from the external geniculate body to a single, sharply delimited cortical region, the striate area.
See how the other major paths—the somatic sensory and auditory systems—appear to remain unilateral through their cortical courses.
Discover how anatomical findings relate to function and to clinical ideas about brain lesions and sensory processing.
Review the long-standing debate over how the retina projects to the cortex and what this means for central vision.

Ideal for readers seeking a rigorous, historic account of cortical pathways and their implications for neuroscience and neuroanatomy.

Store Description

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.
