Joaquín M. Fuster

For clarity and simplicity, this means the search for a spatial and temporal order in the cerebral cortex that matches the cognitive order in every respect. A change or difference in the cortical order corresponds to a change or difference in the mental order. The principal aim of this book is to map cognitive networks onto cortical networks. It has implications for cognitive neuroscience, neurophysiology, neurobiology, neuroima It has implications for cognitive neuroscience, neurophysiology, neurobiology, neuroimaging, neurology, neurosurgery, psychiatry, cognitive psychology, and linguistics.

The book will also interest students in all the disciplines of neuroscience and can be used as a text or collateral reading in courses on systems neuroscience, behavioral neuroscience, cognitive science, network modeling, physiological psychology, and linguistics.

With great clarity, Fuster defines a certain sophisticated understanding of the brain's function, and with great civility, gentility even, he debunks some of the most enduring misconceptions in the field. Fuster's ability for compacting the vast domain of cognitive neuroscience into a brief and lucid book is admirable.

Introduction; The Problem; Cognitive Networks: Neuroscience; The Cognit 2. Click to enlarge Price: Fuster This book presents a unique synthesis of the current neuroscience of cognition by one of the world's authorities in the field. There are no related titles available at this time.

This is an intelligent and well-written book that can be read for pleasure and intellectual stimulation by a scientist as well as the educated non-scientists interested in learning what one prominent neuroscientist has to say about the age-old question about the relationship between the mind and the brain.

One novel idea that Fuster has is of the "Cognit: As he says, "A cognit is an item of knowledge about the world, the self, or the relations between them. Its network structure is made up of elementary representations of perception or action that have been associated with one another by learning or past experience. The book follows a logical structure and is broken down into eight chapters and an interesting though not totally convincing Epilogue about consciousness: Introduction; The Problem; Cognitive Networks: Neuroscience; The Cognit 2.

Intelligence; Development of Intelligence; Reasoning; Problem Solving; Decision Making; Creative Intelligence Epilogue on Consciousness The book flows well, and is illumined by a great many diagrams - some in color - and concise references. I know only too well how much work must have gone into its production.

The book is a highly worthwhile contribution to the literature on the brain and the mind, and I recommend it highly, not just to fellow scientists, but to anyone interested in examining a new approach to the relationships between the brain and cognition. A very insightful book that clearly describes how the reciprocal connections between perception and action form the basis of cognition. A must-read for anyone interested in neuroscience.
