Neuronal Networks in Brain Function, CNS Disorders, and TherapeuticsAuthor(s): Carl Faingold, Hal Blumenfeld\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Elsevier Science Publishing Co Inc, United States\nImprint: Academic Press Inc\nISBN-13: 9780124158047, 978-0124158047\nSynopsis\nNeuronal Networks in Brain Function, CNS Disorders, and Therapeutics, edited by two leaders in the field, offers a current and complete review of what we know about neural networks. How the brain accomplishes many of its more complex tasks can only be understood via study of neuronal network control and network interactions. Large networks can undergo major functional changes, resulting in substantially different brain function and affecting everything from learning to the potential for epilepsy. \n\nWith chapters authored by experts in each topic, this book advances the understanding of:\n\n How the brain carries out important tasks via networks\n How these networks interact in normal brain function\n Major mechanisms .
