Mutuality, Mystery, and Mentorship in Higher Education
This book is for higher education faculty and staff who wish to deepen their approach to mentoring all students, but it is especially concerned with “outsider” students – those who come from groups that were long excluded from higher education, and who have been marginalized and minoritized by society and academia. Mentoring is difficult work for an abundance of reasons, and – given hig…

Encyclopedia of Computational Neuroscience
The annual Computational Neuroscience Meeting (CNS) began in 1990 as a small workshop called Analysis and Modeling of Neural Systems. The goal of the workshop was to explore the boundary between neuroscience and computation. Riding on the success of several seminal papers, physicists had made "Neural Networks" fashionable, and soon the quantitative methods used in these abstract model networks …

Natural Killer Cells
To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the discovery of Natural Killer (NK) cells, this volume focuses on the recent advances in our understanding of NK cell development and differentiation and their acquisition of functional properties, as well as the latest models for NK-cell analysis in mice and applications in clinical medicine. NK cells have travelled a circuitous path from their initial des…

Multimodal Oscillation-based Connectivity Theory
Systems-level neuronal mechanisms that coordinate the temporally, anatomically, and functionally distributed neuronal activity into coherent cognitive operations in the human brain have remained poorly understood. In humans, neuronal oscillations and synchronization can be recorded non-invasively with electro- and magnetoencephalography (EEG and MEG) that have excellent temporal resolution and …

Stem Cells and Cancer Stem Cells, Volume 13
Stem Cells are nature’s indispensable gift to multicellular organisms, including humans. In human history, immortality has been one of the most cherished, but unrealistic, wishes of human beings. Indeed, we are still hoping to cure serious diseases to achieve immortality, but medical treatments have been proven to result in less than impressive success. An excessive emphasis on medical t…
