Nurturing the older brain and mind

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…

The Architecture of Cognition: Rethinking Fodor and Pylyshyn's Systematicity …
In 1988, Jerry Fodor and Zenon Pylyshyn challenged connectionist theorists to explain the systematicity of cognition. In a highly influential critical analysis of connectionism, they argued that connectionist explanations, at best, can only inform us about details of the neural substrate; explanations at the cognitive level must be classical insofar as adult human cognition is essentially syste…
