The Neurobiological Basis of Memory

The book "The Neurobiological Basis of Memory" provides a comprehensive overview of current trends in the neurobiology of memory and honors the pioneering contributions of Raymond Kesner in this field. It begins with an introductory chapter that presents the attribute model of memory and highlights the central role of the hippocampus in processing spatial and temporal dimensions. The early chapters focus on the interactions between different memory systems and brain structures. In the later chapters, the attribute model is applied to various memory functions in the learning process, as well as to specific neurological contexts such as Huntington's disease, traumatic brain injuries, and Fragile X syndrome. The book concludes with an essay on Kesner's life and work, along with memories from colleagues, making it a valuable resource for professionals in the fields of cognitive neuroscience, neuropsychology, geriatrics, psychiatry, and neurobiology.
