Memory : organization and locus of change

Larry R. Squire (Editor)
This book examines neuroplasticity. Chapters represent work on neuroplasticity at all levels: behavioural, neural, and molecular. They describe work on memory ranging from cellular morphological studies in invertebrates to research on the human brain made possible by advances in neuro-imaging technology
