Inhaltsangabe

How the brain works has been one of the great mysteries of science. Advances are now being made in several aspects of cerebral function, but one of the most intractable problems has been to discover the mechanisms by which information is stored in the brain - a problem that has fascinated philosophers and biologists for centuries. This book discusses some of the difficulties that are encountered in analysing the neural basis of memory, and describes the ways in which these difficulties have been overcome through the analysis of the memories underlying habituation and imprinting. Imprinting, the main focus of the book, is a remarkable learning process by which the young of some species of animals learn to recognise objects and their own kind. The book also discusses the relationships between human and animal memory, and ranges from behavioural to molecular levels of analysis.
