Interior clean and unmarked. No ownership marks, highlighting, or underlining noted. A handsome, well-preserved copy. A substantial reference work bringing together leading neuroscientists to examine the organization and function of brain microcircuits. Edited by Gordon M. Shepherd of Yale University and Sten Grillner of the Karolinska Institute, the volume explores neural networks across sensory, motor, and cognitive systems, emphasizing the cellular and synaptic architecture underlying brain function. Contributions from internationally recognized researchers provide a broad overview of contemporary neuroscience and computational approaches to neural circuitry. An important reference for neuroscientists, neurologists, neurophysiologists, computational biologists, and advanced students of brain science. Published during a period of rapid advancement in connectomics and systems neuroscience, this volume remains a significant scholarly resource for understanding the functional organization of neural networks.

About the Author
Professor Shepherd was educated at Iowa State College and Harvard Medical School during the 1950s, and received further training at Oxford University, the National Institutes of Health, and Karolinska Institutet. He has been at the Yale University School of Medicine since 1967, and has held visiting positions at the University of Pennsylvania, Collège de France, Ècole Normale Supérieure, Oxford University, and Institut Pasteur. In his research he and his collaborators introduced computational modeling into studies of brain neurons, revealed a new type of neuronal interaction between dendrites, and showed how smells are represented in the brain by distinct patterns of activity. His work has led to new concepts of brain organization, including the term microcircuits to describe canonical types of neuronal interactions. He has been editor in chief of the Journal of Neurophysiology and the Journal of Neuroscience. His books include The Synaptic Organization of the Brain, Neurobiology, and Creating Modern Neuroscience: The Revolutionary 1950s. His Foundations of the Neuron Doctrine was the first to focus on the dramatic events around the classical work on the neuron in the 19th and early 20th century. The present work takes up the even more dramatic events around the work at mid-20th century that established the modern neuroscience of today.
Professor Grillner was educated at the University of Göteborg in Sweden. He is past Chairman if the Nobel Assemply at the Karolinska Institutet. Currently he is Director of the Nobel Institute for Neurophysiology at the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm.
