What is Neuroscience?

Today, the discipline of neuroscience is an interdisciplinary field that aims "to discover the mechanisms of neuronal function, elucidate the neural substrates of behavior and cognition, and learn about the diseases of the nervous system" (Squire, 2009, p. i).

Cognitive Neuroscience and Psychotherapy by Warren Tryon
Call Number: E-Book
ISBN: 0124200982
Publication Date: 2014-03-22
Cognitive Neuroscience and Psychotherapy provides a bionetwork theory unifying empirical evidence in cognitive neuroscience and psychopathology to explain how emotion, learning, and reinforcement affect personality and its extremes. The book uses the theory to explain research results in both disciplines and to predict future findings, as well as to suggest what the theory and evidence say about how we should be treating disorders for maximum effectiveness. While theoretical in nature, the book has practical applications, and takes a mathematical approach to proving its own theorems.
Computational Neuroscience: Theoretical Insights into Brain Function by Paul Cisek (Editor); Trevor Drew (Editor); John Kalaska (Editor)
Call Number: E-Book
ISBN: 0080555020
Publication Date: 2007-11-14
Computational neuroscience is a relatively new but rapidly expanding area of research which is becoming increasingly influential in shaping the way scientists think about the brain. Computational approaches have been applied at all levels of analysis, from detailed models of single-channel function, transmembrane currents, single-cell electrical activity, and neural signaling to broad theories of sensory perception, memory, and cognition.
Cultural Neuroscience: Cultural Influences on Brain Function by Joan Y. Chiao (Editor); Joan Y. Chiao (Editor)
ISBN: 0080952216
Publication Date: 2009-11-25
This volume presents recent empirical advances using neuroscience techniques to investigate how culture influences neural processes underlying a wide range of human abilities, from perception and scene processing to memory and social cognition. It also highlights the theoretical and methodological issues with conducting cultural neuroscience research.
Decision Neuroscience by Léon Tremblay (Editor); Jean-Claude Dreher (Editor)
Call Number: E-Book
ISBN: 0128053313
Publication Date: 2016-09-27
Decision Neuroscience addresses fundamental questions about how the brain makes perceptual, value-based, and more complex decisions in non-social and social contexts. This book presents compelling neuroimaging, electrophysiological, lesional, and neurocomputational models in combination with hormonal and genetic approaches, which have led to a clearer understanding of the neural mechanisms behind how the brain makes decisions.
Encyclopedia of Neuroscience by Larry R. Squire (Editor-In-Chief)
Call Number: E-Book
ISBN: 0080450466
Publication Date: 2008-11-14

The fourth edition of Fundamental Neuroscience reinvents itself as an engrossing and comprehensive presentation of the discipline of neuroscience, from molecules to cognition. Thorough but succinct, and lavishly illustrated, the book builds from an introductory section that includes fundamental neuroanatomy and goes on to cover cellular and molecular neuroscience, development, sensory systems, motor systems, regulatory systems, and behavioral and cognitive neuroscience.
Neuroscience Basics by Jennifer L. Larimore
Call Number: E-Book
ISBN: 0128110171
Publication Date: 2017-05-25
Examines how our brain works in everyday activities like sleeping, eating, love, and exercise. Many want to better understand how the brain works, but the terminology and jargon of books can be overwhelming. The book covers the basics taught in an introductory neurobiology course designed for anyone new to the neuroscience field, including non-neuroscientists.
The Neuroscience of Emotion by Ralph Adolphs; David J. Anderson
Call Number: E-Book
ISBN: 9781400889914
Publication Date: 2018-06-05
The Neuroscience of Emotion presents a new framework for the neuroscientific study of emotion across species. This accessible and original book recasts the discipline and demonstrates that in order to understand emotion, we need to examine its biological roots in humans and animals. Only through a comparative approach that encompasses work at the molecular, cellular, systems, and cognitive levels will we be able to comprehend what emotions do, how they evolved, how the brain shapes their development, and even how we might engineer them into robots in the future.
Neuroscience of the Nonconscious Mind by Rajendra Badgaiyan
Call Number: E-Book
ISBN: 0128163763
Publication Date: 2019-05-25
Neuroscience of the Nonconscious Mind includes novel concepts and insights on the brain mechanisms that control nonconscious mental functions, some of which were developed in the author's laboratory. The book describes neuroscience of conventional nonconscious mental functions, along with not so conventional functions like creativity, hypnosis and extrasensory perception, thus making it a very unique reference.

ISBN: 9781118332610
Publication Date: 2015-03-03
The Wiley Handbook on the Cognitive Neuroscience of Memory presents a comprehensive overview of the latest, cutting-edge neuroscience research being done relating to the study of human memory and cognition.

Current research and experiments

Look for scholarly articles in one of our databases.

Looking for a topic in neuroscience? Start with PubMed, PsycINFO, or Web of Science Core.
Looking for research including a certain substance or reaction? Do a substance search in SciFinder or Reaxys.
Looking for a topic that includes other disciplines? Use Web of Science for biology and all other sciences, PubMed for medicine and biomedical research, and ERIC for science education.

Physical reference data
