The most acclaimed and accomplished series in neuroscience - from the world's leading publisher in the neurosciences... Ever since the appearance of the first volume Brain Mechanisms (Moruzzi/Fessard/Jasper, 1963), the original aims of the series have remained unchanged: to record the state-of-the-art of a specific topic in neuroscience, to present the most up-to-date research results, to indicate promising paths for future research. This continuing series has become firmly established as an extensive documentation of the advances in contemporary brain research. The volumes, some of which are derived from important international symposia, contain authoritative reviews and original articles by invited specialists. The rigorous editing of the volumes assures that they will appeal to all laboratory and clinical brain research workers in the various disciplines: neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, neuropharmacology, neuroendocrinology, neuropathology, basic neurology, biological psychiatry and the behavioural sciences.
