Abstract "The present volume not only provides a comprehensive guide to the state-of-the-art in research on neurobiology but also frames the major debates of our time in psychology and neuroscience more broadly. To what extent is the mind/brain embodied? What is the nature of neural computation? How do apparently diverse brain systems - perception, action, memory, attention - interact? Are they really as diverse as we once thought? How do neural systems break down and can they be repaired?"-- Back cover.
