Macromolecular Interplay In Brain Associative Mechanisms
Inbunden, Engelska, 1998
2 083 kr
Tillfälligt slut
This volume looks at the associative mechanisms of the brain, particularly of the cortico-limbic and diencephalic systems, and also at the macromolecular effects on them, by integrating the contributions of various disciplines converging on one subject and from different points of view. It addresses the question of how so many different activity levels — the biochemical, physiological, and psychological ones — interact in integrative processes. The topics treated include brain reverberating systems and associative phenomena; long-term potentiation, learning, and memory; gene activity and brain activity; and gene expression and information processing during sleep.

High Dilution Effects On Cells And Integrated Systems - Proceedings Of The International School Of Biophysics
Inbunden, Engelska, 1998
2 169 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
High dilution effects constitute a major problem on the frontier of biophysics. The reported effects on simple and complex biological systems range from in vitro and in vivo models to cellular metabolism regulation, the immune system, the nervous system, intoxicated organs and organisms, and developmental models. The physical properties of high dilutions have been considered, such as the organization properties of water molecules in the presence and after the presence of solute molecules, the energy characteristics of empty and full water clusters, and their dynamical interactions with proteins. Among the mechanisms responsible for the high dilution effects, a non-molecular transfer of information has been hypothesized.

Biophysics Of Photoreception: Molecular And Phototransductive Events
Inbunden, Engelska, 1998
2 255 kr
Tillfälligt slut
This is the first volume of new book series on biophysics and biocybernetics, initiated by the Istituto Italiano per gli Studi Filosofici.A main problem in biophysics is the interaction of light information with functional living structures, in order to shape the organism's behaviour. Although the processes of photoreception and phototransduction are articulated in various ways in different living beings — as it is seen in the subdivision of the topics in this volume on microorganisms, invertebrates, and vertebrates — general ways of light signal reception and transduction through light energy, i.e., photosensitive molecule interactions, could be observed. Highly sophisticated advanced techniques are employed in this research field.

Biocybernetics Of Vision: Integrative Mechanisms And Cognitive Processes
Inbunden, Engelska, 1998
2 322 kr
Tillfälligt slut
Visual cognition is an important area of biocybernetics. It ranges from the filtering processes of early vision to the structural and functional organization of the visual centres, as well as, in higher animals, to the neuronal plasticity, the decision-making rules, the effect of noise, the role of attention, the ambiguity of patterns, and the time dimension. All these factors contribute to the cognitive interpretation of visual sensation that takes place in visual perception. A side field is machine vision, in which the signal processing known from animal vision is applied to the mobile robots responding to light stimulation.

Neuronal Bases And Psychological Aspects Of Consciousness - Proceedings Of The International School Of Biocybernetics
Inbunden, Engelska, 1999
3 289 kr
Tillfälligt slut
For a few decades, the puzzle of consciousness, which for centuries was analysed by philosophers, has been finding a wide interest in the scientific field, where previously it was not entitled to be a member. It has become one of the most-debated problems in the cognitive sciences. The anatomical bases, neurophysiological correlates and elementary mechanisms underlying complex processes arising with consciousness have been compared with the psychological (perceptive, cognitive, volitive, emotional) aspects of conscious expressions, in normal and pathological conditions. Various theories, which attempt to fit systematically and coherently neural and psychological data, have been debated, proving the emergence of the phenomenon of consciousness.

From Structure To Information In Sensory Systems - Proceedings Of The International School Of Biophysics
Inbunden, Engelska, 1998
2 944 kr
Tillfälligt slut
This book is a sequel on the topics of photoreception and phototransduction covered by Volume I of the series (Biophysics of Photoreception: Molecular and Phototransductive Events), adding the analysis of two other modalities of sensory reception and transduction — the chemical and mechanical ones, which are phylogenetically older. This characterization results not in a succession of three different and uncorrelated moments, but in a fruitful confrontation between experts which usually act separately and in an integration between various particular knowledges. This approach highlights the basic strategies common to different sensory modalities and specializations, as well as the ecological adaptations of each of them.

Downward Processes In The Perception Representation Mechanisms - Proceedings Of The International School Of Biocybernetics
Inbunden, Engelska, 1998
3 176 kr
Tillfälligt slut
Perception is the first step in the whole of the cognitive processes (attention, learning, memory, categorization, imagery, intuition, inference, comprehension, thought, judgement, expression) which culminate in the reasoning activity and to which emotions make a contribution. The production of perception representations is correlated with the perception events. Such perception representations occur by means of the contribution of two kinds of factors: sensory signals which reproduce the spatio-temporal characteristics of the receptor modifications, and interpretation of the intrinsic ambiguity of such signals by means of unconscious inferences. Various interactions intervene between bottom-up signals from peripheral receptors and top-down signals from higher centres.

Chaos And Noise In Biology And Medicine - Proceedings Of The International School Of Biophysics
Inbunden, Engelska, 1998
2 216 kr
Tillfälligt slut
This volume brings together from several disciplines some developments in the nonlinear analysis of systems from biology and medicine and the noise effects on them. It contains a series of co-ordinated lectures on the topics of nonlinearity and chaos in neuronal and cardiac activity, chaos control, spatio-temporal dynamics, noise and stochastic resonance. The applications range from the noninvasive treatment of cardiac arrhythmias and epileptic foci to the development of diagnostic and therapeutic techniques based on the stochastic resonance, to the defibrillation approach based on detailed spatio-temporal models, to the transfer of information in chaotic systems.

Emotions, Qualia, And Consciousness
Inbunden, Engelska, 2001
3 116 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
The experience of emotion is a ubiquitous component of the stream of consciousness; emotional qualia interact with other contents and processes of consciousness in complex ways. Recent research has supported the hypothesis that important functional aspects of emotion can operate outside the conscious awareness. Primary types of emotions are found in animals, while secondary, more complex types are involved in interpersonal relationships. Emotions both influence genetic repair mechanisms of individuals and are responsible for group behavior. Many scholars and scientists believe that no scientific or philosophic account of consciousness can be complete without an understanding of the role of emotion.

Vision: The Approach Of Biophysics And Neuroscience - Proceedings Of The International School Of Biophysics
Inbunden, Engelska, 2001
2 772 kr
Tillfälligt slut
The light sense is conceivably the key sense in both the animal and the plant kingdom. Vision research, undoubtedly a fast-growing field, is providing impressive results — thanks to modern theoretical and methodological advances. The approach of biophysics and neuroscience seems to be of great benefit and, for this reason, the present book gives an outline of recent acquisitions and updated advanced methods concerning this approach. Visual mechanisms and processes are analysed at several (molecular, cellular, integrative, computational and cognitive) levels by different methodologies (from molecular biology to computation) applied to different living models (from protists to humans, via invertebrates and lower vertebrates).
