To advance our understanding of higher brain functions, it is necessary to study the interneuronal relationships governing neuronal processing. Since this is an extremely complex problem, many researchers have been content to study the immense but relatively simple "cellular bottom", in the hope that some kind of "bottom-up" analysis would emerge of its own accord. The chapters in this text describe a variety of new and innovative research methods and the results obtained. Contributors explain how the intricate and yet weak interactions among nerve cells give rise to the functional capacity of the mammalian brain. The book also provides insights into processes related to higher brain functions and memory.
