Description

The young and rapidly evolving field of cognitive neuroscience draws conceptual and technical elements from the traditionally seperate disciplines of cognitive psychology and neuroscience, in order to better understand complex human brain functions that have puzzled thinkers for centuries. Written by seven leaders in the field, Principles of Cognitive Neuroscience informs readers at all levels about the growing canon of cognitive neuroscience, and makes clear the many challenges that remain to be solved by the next generation.

Now in its second edition, the text has been condensed and combined into 15 chapters, with expanded coverage of genetics, evolution and neural development. Fully updated and containing more effective pedagogical features, Principles of Cognitive Neuroscience also comes with a fully upgraded version of Sylvius 4 Online, which includes an interactive tutorial on human neuroanatomy as well as a magnetic resonance imaging atlas of the human brain.
