Understanding how memories are induced and maintained is one of
the major outstanding questions in modern neuroscience. This is
difficult to address in the mammalian brain due to its enormous
complexity, and invertebrates offer major advantages for learning
and memory studies because of their relative simplicity. Many
important discoveries made in invertebrates have been found to be
generally applicable to higher organisms, and the overarching theme
of the proposed will be to integrate information from different
levels of neural organization to help generate a complete account
of learning and memory.
Edited by two leaders in the field, "Invertebrate Learning and
Memory "will offer a current and comprehensive review, with
chapters authored by experts in each topic. The volume will take a
multidisciplinary approach, exploring behavioral, cellular,
genetic, molecular, and computational investigations of memory.
Coverage will include comparative cognition at the behavioral and
mechanistic level, developments in concepts and methodologies that
will underlie future advancements, and mechanistic examples from
the most important vertebrate systems (nematodes, molluscs, and
insects). Neuroscience researchers and graduate students with an
interest in the neural control of cognitive behavior will benefit,
as will as will those in the field of invertebrate learning.
Presents an overview of invertebrate studies at the molecular /
cellular / neural levels and correlates findings to mammalian
behavioral investigationsLinking multidisciplinary approaches
allows for full understanding of how molecular changes in neurons
and circuits underpin behavioral plasticityEdited work with
chapters authored by leaders in the field around the globe - the
broadest, most expert coverage availableComprehensive coverage
synthesizes widely dispersed research, serving as one-stop shopping
for comparative learning and memory researchers
