Routledge Plasticity in the Central Nervous System: Learning and Memory

This comprehensive guide explores the neurobiological foundations of learning and memory through contemporary research and theoretical frameworks. Catalysed by advances in neurobiological and behavioural techniques, alongside innovative conceptual approaches to brain-behaviour relationships, the book synthesises current understanding of how the brain enables learning and memory formation. The chapters present up-to-date research summaries investigating the cellular bases of memory and examine how different brain systems contribute to various forms of memory. Published by Routledge and Psychology Press, this resource offers neurology professionals, clinical practitioners and researchers valuable insights into the mechanisms underlying neuroplasticity and cognitive function, making it essential reading for those studying neuroscience, clinical neurophysiology or neurology.
