This book demonstrates that the analysis of the physical-chemical substrates of some of the simpler learning and memory phenomena will soon result in a characterization of brain circuits as information processing networks.

In science, a few areas particularly capture the imagination because of a combination of excitement, substantial technical progress, and implicit significance in affecting the nature and quality of life. Perhaps no area of science exhibits these characteristics more abundantly than that dealing with the brain. Once shrouded in the mystical, studies in modem brain science are dramatically enhancing our understanding of brain function and its impact on learning and memory. It is perhaps the union of pragmatic and mystical aspects that makes this such an exciting arena of science. The Office of Naval Research (ONR) began an intensive effort in 1983 on the topic of the neural basis for learning and memory. This effort was aimed at providing the scientific understanding of how learning takes place. It is the expectation that a neurological understanding of learning processes will lead to the formulation of learning strategies that will significantly enhance performance. This is important in a civilian and military population faced with serious manpower problems requiring a few individuals to be more expert with technologically intensive systems. With these motivations in mind, two of us (EJW and RN) formulated a full-day symposium at the AAAS annual meeting held in New York, May 1984.

Russia's controversial involvement in the conflict in Ukraine since 2014 has raised important enquiries into Russia's understanding of conflict management and its approach to contemporary European security. This book provides a timely and contextual exploration of Russia's post-Soviet legacy of conflict management in the backdrop of its interaction with Europe's system of security governance. By exploring Russia's approach from the early 1990s to the beginning of Vladimir Putin's third presidential term, the book offers a comprehensive exploration into the evolution of Russian behaviour. The book investigates whether Russia's approach has developed in accordance with the policies and practices of security governance that have emerged in the European 'experience' of conflict management. Together with extensive documentary analysis, the book employs the framework of security governance to examine Moscow's behaviour across a set of case studies situated in the European political and security environment. It offers a timely contribution to our understanding of Russia's response to intra-state conflict and its engagement with its contemporary security environment.
