The Senses: A Comprehensive Reference, Second Edition, Seven Volume
Set is a comprehensive reference work covering the range of topics
that constitute current knowledge of the neural mechanisms
underlying the different senses. This important work provides the
most up-to-date, cutting-edge, comprehensive reference combining
volumes on all major sensory modalities in one set. Offering 264
chapters from a distinguished team of international experts, The
Senses lays out current knowledge on the anatomy, physiology, and
molecular biology of sensory organs, in a collection of
comprehensive chapters spanning 4 volumes. Topics covered include
the perception, psychophysics, and higher order processing of
sensory information, as well as disorders and new diagnostic and
treatment methods. Written for a wide audience, this reference work
provides students, scholars, medical doctors, as well as anyone
interested in neuroscience, a comprehensive overview of the
knowledge accumulated on the function of sense organs, sensory
systems, and how the brain processes sensory input. As with the
first edition, contributions from leading scholars from around the
world will ensure The Senses offers a truly international portrait
of sensory physiology. The set is the definitive reference on
sensory neuroscience and provides the ultimate entry point into the
review and original literature in Sensory Neuroscience enabling
students and scientists to delve into the subject and deepen their
knowledge.
Hearing is a prerequisite for the evolution of language and thus
the development of human societies. It is the only major sense
whose evolution can be traced back to vertebrates, starting with
sarcopterygians. The book explores the evolution of auditory
development that has remained largely unexplored in contemporary
theories of neurosensory brain evolution, including the
telencephalon. It describes how sensory epithelia from the basilar
papilla evolved in the ear and connected dedicated cochlear neurons
to neuronal centers in the brain, and deals with how sound is
converted through sound modulations into reliably decoded messages.
The loss of hearing with age is expected to reach 2.6 billion
people by 2050. As such, the book explains and reviews hearing loss
at the molecular level to the behavioral level, and provides
suggestions to manage the loss.
This book is an overview of primary sensory maps of vertebrates,
characterized by continuous and discrete properties. The eight
primary sensory maps of vertebrates have unique features and use
distinct molecular cues, cell cycle exit, and activity combinations
during development, regeneration, and plasticity. As an
introduction and overview, the book provides a short overview for
all eight sensory senses and presents through evolution and gene
regulatory networks, the molecular cues needed for sensory
processing. Independent contributions are included for olfactory,
vision, trigeminal, taste, vestibular, auditory, lateral line, and
electroreception.
About one half of the papers in this volume are based on lectures
which were pre sented at a conference at Leipzig University in
August 1994, which was dedicated to Vladimir Petrovich Potapov. He
would have been eighty years old. These have been supplemented by:
(1) Historical material, based on reminiscences of former
colleagues, students and associates of V.P. Potapov. (2)
Translations of a number of important papers (which serve to
clarify the Potapov approach to problems of interpolation and
extension, as well as a number of related problems and methods) and
are relatively unknown in the West. (3) Two expository papers,
which have been especially written for this volume. For purposes of
discussion, it is convenient to group the technical papers in this
volume into six categories. We will now run through them lightly,
first listing the major theme, then in parentheses the authors of
the relevant papers, followed by discussion. Some supplementary
references are listed at the end; OT72 which appears frequently in
this volume, refers to Volume 72 in the series Operator Theory:
Advances and Applications. It was dedicated to V.P. Potapov. 1.
Multiplicative decompositions (Yu.P. Ginzburg; M.S. Livsic, I.V.
Mikhailova; V.I. Smirnov)."
This volume details the essential role of the spiral ganglion
neurons. The volume elucidates and characterizes their development,
their environment, their electrophysiological characteristics,
their connectivity to their targets in the inner ear and the brain,
and discusses the potential for their regeneration. A comprehensive
review about the spiral ganglion neurons is important for
researchers not only in the inner ear field but also in
development, neuroscience, biophysics as well as neural networks
researchers. The chapters are authored by leading researchers in
the field.
This book is dedicated to Victor Emmanuilovich Katsnelson on the
occasion of his 75th birthday and celebrates his broad mathematical
interests and contributions.Victor Emmanuilovich's mathematical
career has been based mainly at the Kharkov University and the
Weizmann Institute. However, it also included a one-year guest
professorship at Leipzig University in 1991, which led to him
establishing close research contacts with the Schur analysis group
in Leipzig, a collaboration that still continues today. Reflecting
these three periods in Victor Emmanuilovich's career, present and
former colleagues have contributed to this book with research
inspired by him and presentations on their joint work.
Contributions include papers in function theory (Favorov-Golinskii,
Friedland-Goldman-Yomdin, Kheifets-Yuditskii) , Schur analysis,
moment problems and related topics (Boiko-Dubovoy, Dyukarev,
Fritzsche-Kirstein-Madler), extension of linear operators and
linear relations (Dijksma-Langer, Hassi-de Snoo, Hassi -Wietsma)
and non-commutative analysis (Ball-Bolotnikov, Cho-Jorgensen).

In diesem Monat feiern wir den 150. Geburtstag von SOPHUS LIE,
einem der groessten Mathematiker des vorigen Jahrhunderts. Es ist
daher sehr zu begrussen, dass der Teubner Verlag, einer langen
Traditionslinie bei der Veroeffentlichung von LIES Werken folgend,
in seine Reihe "TEUBNER-ARCHIV zur Mathematik" Arbeiten von SOPHUS
LIE und seinen Zeitgenossen EDuARD STUDY und FRIEDRICH ENGEL
aufgenommen hat. Ausgewahlt wurden Beitrage zur Theorie der
Differentialinvarianten. Zum einen ist dies ein Gebiet, auf dem
alle drei tatig gewesen sind und das als Ausgangspunkt grosser
Liescher Ideen zur Anwendung gruppentheoretischer Methoden in der
Analysis betrachtet werden kann, obwohl es nur einen Ausschnitt aus
LIES Schaffen darstellt. Zum anderen vermitteln die hier
vorgestellten Arbeiten durch ihren kritischen Stil und durch den
Streit um unterschied liche mathematische Auffassungen interessante
Einblicke in das mathematische Geschehen jener Zeit. Neben der
Wurdigung dieser drei namhaften Mathematiker stellt der vorliegende
Band den Ursprung der Lieschen Theorie, ihre weitere Entwicklung
und spatere Auspragung dar. Wir danken dem Teubner-Verlag und
insbesondere Herrn J. WEISS fur das freundliche Entgegenkommen und
die gute Zusammenarbeit. Greifswald und Leipzig, Dezember 1992

Dieser Band des "TEUBNER-ARCHIVs zur Mathematik" enthalt klassische
ma thematische Arbeiten, welche im Zeitraum von 1911 bis 1935 von
GusTAV HER GLOTZ, ISSAI SCHUR, GEORG PICK, ROLF NEVANLINNA und
HERMANN WEYL verfasst wurden und aus heutiger Sicht die Ursprunge
einer mathematischen Richtung mar kieren, welche sich in den 80er
Jahren an der Nahtstelle verschiedener mathemati scher Disziplinen
herausbildete und nun unter der Bezeichnung "Schur-Analysis"
Eingang in die mathematische Literatur gefunden hat.
Hervorstechendes Merkmal der Schur-Analysis ist ihr algorithmischer
Charakter, der bereits in IssAI ScHURS grundlegender Arbeit "Uber
Potenzreihen, die im In nem des Einheitskreises beschrankt sind,"
welche 1917 und 1918 in zwei Teilen im "Journal fur die reine und
angewandte Mathematik" veroffentlicht wurde, pragnant zum Ausdruck
kommt. Der dort kreierte tiefsinnige Algorithmus, welcher heute nun
unter dem Terminus "Schur-Algorithmus" gefasst wird, beinhaltet
alle haupt sachlichen Wesenszuge der Methode und trug wesentlich
dazu bei, dass fur diese die Begriffsbildung "Schur-Analysis"
gewahlt wurde. Es ist deshalb nur folgerichtig, dass die oben
genannte Arbeit IssAI ScHuRs eine zentrale Stellung einnimmt."
