This book was first published in 2008. Neuroscience is progressing
so rapidly that even expressions such as 'by leaps and bounds' fail
to capture the pace of its growth. Questions that once were thought
to be unanswerable - perhaps even unaskable - have been both asked
and answered, and questions once unthinkable, are routine. Topics
in Integrative Neuroscience has singled out four of the most
important problems in neuroscience: higher order perception;
language; memory systems; and sensory processes. The volume
presents original contributions by many of the leading researchers
in those fields, and with an initial chapter covering neuroethics.
It is impossible to capture fully the sweep of discoveries that
emerged from the 'Decade of the Brain' within the covers of a
single volume. It is possible, however, to provide a sample, both
in recognition of what has been accomplished and as a harbinger of
what is surely to come.
