Learning and Memory: The Behavioral and Biological Substrates / Edition 1

by Isidore Gormezano, Edward A. Wasserman

Overview

This volume presents the views and findings of behaviorally and biologically oriented investigators invited to participate in The University of Iowa's biennial learning and memory symposium. While chapters vary in their scope and depth of coverage, they are all amply referenced so that researchers, teachers, and students can obtain background information appropriate to their respective needs.

Editorial Reviews

"...this is a well-produced and expertly edited volume, with several interesting and potentially influential chapters....useful to behavioral scientists and others looking for a means of quickly appraising the issues in what has become a labyrinthine neuroscience literature."
