His survey includes phylogenetic, comparative, and neuroanatomical studies of the neocortex; studies of the large-scale organization of the neocortex, of neuronal histogenesis and the specification of cortical areas, of synaptic transmission between neurons in cortical microcircuits, and of rhythmicity and synchronization in neocortical networks; and inquiries into the binding problem--how activities among the separate processing nodes of distributed systems coalesce in a coherent activity that we call perception.The first book to summarize what is known about the physiology of the cortex in perception, Perceptual Neuroscience will be a landmark in the literature of neuroscience.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67875510452512,"sku":"USED0674661885","price":71.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/41quYgZWVNL_b5406d7f-5b19-42ca-b251-5baf931130bf.jpg?v=1792449090","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/perceptual-neuroscience-the-cerebral-cortex-0674661885-used","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
