  • - Circuitry for Sensation, Action, and Cognition
    af W. Martin (Professor and Chair Usrey
    806,95 kr.

    Every cortical area receives input from the thalamus and projects to the thalamus. The cortex and thalamus, therefore, are inseparable partners for sensation, action, and cognition. Exploring Thalamocortical Interactions provides readers with foundational knowledge needed to understand the cellular and circuit properties of thalamocortical networks, and then goes on to consider new ideas and hypotheses, some of which are quite speculative. Some of the major themes emphasized throughout the book include: ┬╖ the need for a proper classification of thalamocortical and corticothalamic circuits┬╖ the role of spike timing for thalamocortical and corticothalamic communication and the mechanisms for modulating spike timing┬╖ the organization and function of corticothalamic feedback projections┬╖ the role of higher order thalamic nuclei in cortico-cortical communication and cortical functioning┬╖ attentional modulation of thalamocortical interactions┬╖ a rethinking of efference copies and distinguishing neural signals as sensory versus motorExploring Thalamocortical Interactions combines foundational knowledge from decades of research with fresh ideas and hypotheses on how the thalamus and cortex work together for sensation, action, and cognition.

    The Oxford Handbook of Nigerian History provides a comprehensive history of Africa''s most populous and most rapidly developing country. Rather than centering the rise of the nation-state, the Handbook reads the narrative of national politics alongside deeper histories of political and social organization, as well as in relation to competing influences on modern identity formation and inter-group relationships, such as ethnic and religiouscommunities, economic partnerships, and immigrant and diasporic cultures. Consisting of 36 chapters, the Handbook is separated into five major sections, starting with the historiography of NigeriaΓÇönamely, the systems of knowledge handed down by the indigenous, Christian, Islamic, colonial, and post-colonial traditions. From that foundation, the chapters cover the development of nomadic and agricultural societies, the colonial era, the emergence of a modern Nigeria, and the impact of Nigerians outside of the country''s borders. This transnational approachincorporates the most important ideas from the new scholarship emerging in the 21st century, creating a forward-looking volume appropriate for a dynamic, diverse, and swiftly changing Nigeria.
