It provides a unique approach of linking molecular and cellular aspects of normal and pathological brain functioning with their corresponding network, collective and dynamical manifestations that are subsequently extended to behavioral manifestations of healthy and diseased brains. This book introduces a high-level perspective, searching for simplification amongst the structural and functional complexity of nervous systems by consideration of the distributed interactions that underlie the collective behavior of the system. The authors hope that this approach could promote a global comprehensive understanding of high-level laws behind the elementary biological processes in the neuroscientific community, while, perhaps, introducing elements of biological complexities to the mathematical/computational readership. The title of the book refers to the main point of the monograph: that there is a smooth continuum between distinct brain activities resulting in different behaviors, and that, due to the plastic nature of the brain, the behavior can also alter the brain function, thus rendering artificial the boundaries between the brain and its behavior.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: SGAuthor: Jose Luis Perez-velazquez, Marina V Frantseva, Jose Luis Perez Velazquez, Marina FrantsevaGenre: Science Nature & MathISBN-10: 981434060XItem Length: 22mmItem Height: 228mmType: MedicineTopic: MedicineRelease Year: 2011 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
