Under the direction of leading experts in oxidative stress, this book addresses cutting-edge areas of research regarding micronutrients and the brain: It discusses identification of brain-specific micronutrients that support function and molecular mechanisms underlying neuroprotectant activity. The book covers age-related metabolic pathways,...
The main purpose of the book is to provide insight into an area that humans often take for granted. There are wonderful and exciting stories of organisms using chemical signals as a basis of a sophisticated communication system. In many instances, chemical signals can provide more detailed and accurate information than any other mode of...
This is an excellent introduction for graduate students and nonspecialists to the field of mathematical and computational neurosciences. The book approaches the subject via pulsed-coupled neural networks, which have at their core the lighthouse and integrate-and-fire models. These allow for highly flexible modeling of realistic synaptic...
An incomparable, up-to-date reference for basic biochemistry, associated chemistry, and underlying biological phenomena.
Biochemistry: The Chemical Reactions of Living Cells is a well-integrated, up-to-date reference for basic biochemistry, associated chemistry, and underlying biological phenomena. Biochemistry is a...
Humans receive the great majority of information about their environment through
sight, and at least 50% of the human brain is dedicated to vision. Vision is also a key
component for building artificial systems that can perceive and understand their environment.
Computer vision is likely to change society in many ways; for example,
it...
The human central nervous system or neuraxis
consists of the brain (encephalon) and the spinal
cord (medulla spinalis). The brain is encased by
the skull; the spinal cord lies within the spinal
canal, extending from the foramen magnum to
the level of the second lumbar vertebra. Globally,
the brain can be subdivided into...
