Synaptic Modification, Neuron Selectivity, and Nervous System Organization

William B. Levy University of Virginia School of Medicine, Department of Neuro-surgery, Charlottesville. , James A. Anderson Brown University, Department of Psychology and Center for Neural Sciences, Providence. Stephen Lehmkuhle

"An important reference book for graduate students and faculty in the neuroscience discipline, psychology and other related disciplines, and secondarily for those involved in vision research. It is to be considered a 'state of the art' book, both experimentally and theoretically, concerning neuronal activity in accounting for sensory, perceptual and cognitive processes."—Journal of Electrophysiological Techniques
