Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
How does the brain code and process incoming information, how does it recog nize a certain object, how does a certain Gestalt come into our awareness? One of the key issues to conscious realization of an object, of a Gestalt is the attention de voted to the corresponding sensory input which evokes the neural pattern underly ing the Gestalt. This requires that the attention be devoted to one set of objects at a time. However, the attention may be switched quickly between different objects or ongoing input processes. It is to be expected that such mechanisms are reflected in the neural dynamics: Neurons or neuronal assemblies which pertain to one object may fire, possibly in rapid bursts at a time. Such firing bursts may enhance the synaptic strength in the corresponding cell assembly and thereby form the substrate of short-term memory. However, we may well become aware of two different objects at a time. How can we avoid that the firing patterns which may relate to say a certain type of move ment (columns in V5) or to a color (V 4) of one object do not become mixed with those of another object? Such a blend may only happen if the presentation times be come very short (below 20-30 ms). One possibility is that neurons pertaining to one cell assembly fire syn chronously. Then different cell assemblies firing at different rates may code different information."

Die dramatischen Fortschritte auf dem Gebiet der Botenstoffe des Gehirns erlauben ein neues Verst{ndnis und eine Einord- nugn psychoaktiver Substanzen. Das Buch tr{gt dem erstmals in Form eines einf}hrenden deutschsprachigen Lehrbuchs Rech- nung. Dabei werden parallel die wesentlichen psychiatrischen und klinisch-psychologischen Krankheitsbilder vorgestellt und zugrundeliegende neuronale/biochemische St-rungen er-r- tert.
Vineyard's book on the various battles of the Civil War in the United States remains a powerful, touching work that paints a grim picture of one of the bloodiest wars the world has ever seen.
