Chromatin Remodeling and Dendrite Wiring Specificity in the Drosophila Olfactory System
The human brain is an extraordinarily complex organ containing billions of neurons forming trillions of connections. The functionality of the brain lies in this intricate circuit wiring. How do the neurons form proper connections during development? The Drosophila olfactory system exhibits very precise and stereotyped neuronal connectivity that is specified predominantly by genetic programming. The dendrites of second-order olfactory projection neurons (PNs) pattern the developing antennal lobe prior to first-order olfactory receptor neuron (ORN) axon arrival, indicating an intrinsic wiring mechanism for PN dendrites. The antennal lobe is formed of ~50 glomeruli, each of which represents a v...
Principles of Neurobiology
Principles of Neurobiology presents the major concepts of neuroscience with an emphasis on how we know what we know. The text is organized around a series of key experiments to illustrate how scientific progress is made and helps upper-level undergraduate and graduate students discover the relevant primary literature. Written by a single author in
Basic Principles of Peripheral Nerve Disorders
Peripheral nerve disorders are comprising one of the major clinical topics in neuromusculoskeletal disorders. Sharp nerve injuries, chronic entrapment syndromes, and peripheral neuropathic processes can be classified in this common medical topic. Different aspects of these disorders including anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology, injury mechanisms, and different diagnostic and management methods need to be addressed when discussing this topic. The goal of preparing this book was to gather such pertinent chapters to cover these aspects.
Theoretical Neuroscience
This textbook is an introduction to Systems and Theoretical/Computational Neuroscience, with a particular emphasis on cognition. It consists of three parts: Part I covers fundamental concepts and mathematical models in computational neuroscience, along with cutting-edge topics. Part II explores the building blocks of cognition, including working memory (how the brain maintains and manipulates information "online" without external input), decision making (how choices are made among multiple options under conditions of uncertainty and risk) and behavioral flexibility (how we direct attention and control actions). Part III is dedicated to frontier research, covering models of large-scale multi-...
Think Tank
A cutting-edge collection of essays by irreverent neuroscientists explores the quirky and counterintuitive aspects of brain function
Neurobiology of Chemical Communication
Intraspecific communication involves the activation of chemoreceptors and subsequent activation of different central areas that coordinate the responses of the entire organism—ranging from behavioral modification to modulation of hormones release. Animals emit intraspecific chemical signals, often referred to as pheromones, to advertise their presence to members of the same species and to regulate interactions aimed at establishing and regulating social and reproductive bonds. In the last two decades, scientists have developed a greater understanding of the neural processing of these chemical signals. Neurobiology of Chemical Communication explores the role of the chemical senses in mediat...
Encyclopedia of Insects
The Encyclopedia of Insects is a comprehensive work devoted to all aspects of insects, including their anatomy, physiology, evolution, behavior, reproduction, ecology, and disease, as well as issues of exploitation, conservation, and management. Articles provide definitive facts about all insects from aphids, beetles and butterflies to weevils and yellowjackets. Insects are beautiful and dreadful, ravenous pests and devastating disease vectors, resilient and resistant to eradication, and the source of great benefit and great loss for civilization. Important for ecosystem health, they have influenced the evolution of other life forms on our planet including humans. Anyone interested in insect...
