The new fourth edition of this highly successful textbook covers the entire subject of neurophysiology from the conduction of nerve impulses to the higher functions of the brain. Particular emphasis is placed on principles and functional concepts. The book is accompanied by a CD containing not only an upgraded version of the highly acclaimed Neurolab interactive simulations, but an atlas of neuroanatomy, animated diagrams of brain development, MCQs with timings and explained answers, a review of neuro websites on neuroscience with links, and moving footage of the neurological examination and the clinical signs of the major neurological conditions. With more functional anatomy and clinical cases, this new edition presents an integrated textbook of neurology/neuroscience for medical students, physiology students, neuroscience students, and bioscience students taking physiology and neuroscience modules. Includes free CD with innovative, interactive simulations and other material, including the full, searchable text

Why is deciding to do something sometimes so slow and difficult? How do we make decisions when lacking key information? When making decisions, the higher areas of the brain deliberately suppress lower areas capable of generating much faster but ill-considered responses while they develop ones that are more sophisticated, based on what can be gained in return. In this engaging book, the authors explore the increasingly popular neural model that may explain these mechanisms: the linear approach to threshold ergodic rate (LATER). Presenting a detailed description of the neurophysiological processes involved in decision-making and how these link to the LATER model, this is the first major resource covering the applications in describing human behaviour. With over 100 illustrations and a thorough discussion of the mathematics supporting the model, this is a rigorous yet accessible resource for psychologists, cognitive neuroscientists and neurophysiologists interested in decision-making.
