Brain Organization and Memory Cells, Systems, and Circuits

Brain Organization and Memory Cells, Systems, and Circuits by James L. McGaugh, published by Oxford University Press in 1990, is a reprint edition comprising 409 pages. This book presents a comprehensive overview of recent findings from leading researchers focused on the brain systems that underlie memory. It reviews advancements in understanding various forms of memory in both animals and humans, highlighting the interaction between cortical and subcortical systems in memory regulation.

Readers will find a detailed examination of neural network models that aim to connect individual cells to broader systems in memory representation. The content is particularly relevant for those in the fields of medical science, neurology, and cognitive psychology, as it delves into the physiological and psychological aspects of memory. This volume serves as a valuable resource for cognitive psychologists, neuroscientists, and students engaged in this dynamic area of research.
