Nurturing the older brain and mind
The authors show that scientific research does not support the notion of the inexorable and progressive effects of cognitive aging in all older adults. They report that many adults maintain a high level of cognitive function into old age and that certain lifestyle factors contribute to the preservation of cognitive abilities.OCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record.

The cognitive-emotional brain: From interactions to integration
The idea that a specific brain circuit constitutes the emotional brain shaped thinking about emotion and the brain for many years. Recent behavioural, neuropsychological, neuroanatomy, and neuroimaging research, however, suggests that emotion interacts with cognition in the brain. In this book, Luiz Pessoa moves beyond the debate over functional specialization, describing the many ways that emo…

Language, Music, and the Brain: A Mysterious Relationship
Through four key themes, this book explores the relationships between language, music, and the brain and the crosstalk between them: song and dance as a bridge between music and language; multiple levels of structure from brain to behaviour to culture; the semantics of internal and external worlds and the role of emotion; and the evolution and development of language. Specially commissioned exp…

Cognitive Search: Evolution, Algorithms, and the Brain
Over a century ago, William James proposed that people search through memory much as they rummage through a house looking for lost keys. Like other animal species search space, we scour our environments for territory, food, mates, and other goals, including information. We search for items in visual scenes, for historical facts and shopping deals on internet sites, for new friends to add to our…

Reliability in Cognitive Neuroscience: A Meta-Meta-Analysis
Cognitive neuroscientists increasingly claim that brain images generated by new brain imaging technologies reflect, correlate, or represent cognitive processes. This book warns against these claims, arguing that, despite its utility in anatomic and physiological applications, brain imaging research has not provided consistent evidence for correlation with cognition. It bases this argument on a …
