Description
Each edition of this classic reference has proved to be a benchmark in the
developing field of cognitive neuroscience. The fifth edition of The Cognitive
Neurosciences continues to chart new directions in the study of the biological
underpinnings of complex cognitio -- the relationship between the structural
and physiological mechanisms of the nervous system and the psychological reality
of the mind. It offers entirely new material, reflecting recent advances in
the field. Many of the developments in cognitive neuroscience have been shaped
by the introduction of novel tools and methodologies, and a new section is devoted
to methods that promise to guide the field into the future -- from sophisticated
models of causality in brain function to the application of network theory to
massive data sets. Another new section treats neuroscience and society, considering
some of the moral and political quandaries posed by current neuroscientific
methods.
Other sections describe, among other things, new research that draws on developmental
imaging to study the changing structure and function of the brain over the lifespan;
progress in establishing increasingly precise models of memory; research that
confirms the study of emotion and social cognition as a core area in cognitive
neuroscience; and new findings that cast doubt on the so-called neural correlates
of consciousness.
