(Pushing) the Limits of Neuroplasticity Induced by Adult Language Acquisition
Most adults attempt to learn a second or even third language at some point in their life. Since language exposure is one of the most intense cognitive training regimes one can encounter, it is not surprising that previous research has shown that multilingualism can induce profound change in the brain or ‘neuroplasticity’.What remains unclear is the scope of such adult language learning indu…

Trees of the brain, roots of the mind
"The human brain is often described as the most complex object in the universe. Tens of billions of nerve cells-tiny tree-like structures--make up a massive network with enormous computational power. In this book, Giorgio Ascoli reveals another aspect of the human brain: the stunning beauty of its cellular form. Doing so, he makes a provocative claim about the mind-brain relationship. If each n…

How We Remember: Brain Mechanisms of Episodic Memory
Episodic memory proves essential for daily function, allowing us to remember where we parked the car, what time we walked the dog, or what a friend said earlier. In this book, Hasselmo presents a new model describing the brain mechanisms for encoding and remembering an episode as a spatiotemporal trajectory.OCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record.

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…
