OverviewThis volume is the first comprehensive and single-authored book on the functions of the basal ganglia. The goal is to provide a new synthesis of diverse areas of research on the basal ganglia, from cellular mechanisms of synaptic transmission and plasticity to neural circuit mechanisms underlying behavior. A global theory of basal ganglia function incorporating research from the last 40 years is presented. I hope to explain for the first time how the basal ganglia generate behavior, how they contribute to learning and memory, and how impairments in basal ganglia function can lead to neurological and psychiatric disorders. Features The only single-authored book on the basal ganglia with coverage of the latest literature Spans multiple levels of analysis, from cellular physiology to behavior Includes coverage of clinical symptoms, encompassing neuropsychology, movement disorders, and psychiatric disorders Discusses the role of the basal ganglia in learning and memory Full Product DetailsAuthor: Henry Yin (Duke University, Durham, North Carolina, USA)Publisher: Taylor & Francis Inc Imprint: CRC Press Inc Weight: 0.780kg ISBN: 9781498768696ISBN 10: 1498768695 Pages: 320 Publication Date: 15 October 2023 Audience: Professional and scholarly , Professional & Vocational Format: Hardback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In Print  This item will be ordered in for you from one of our suppliers.

SynthesisReviewsAuthor InformationHenry Yin is currently a professor of Psychology and Neuroscience at Duke University. Yin received his B.A. from Washington University in St Louis and his Ph.D. from UCLA. Yin’s research has, from the very start, focused on the function of the basal ganglia, combining different levels of analysis, from cellular to behavioral mechanisms. He has published over 50 papers on various aspects of basal ganglia function. Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
