Description for Plasticity in the Visual System
Hardback. Mechanisms of neural plasticity enable the encoding and memorization of information based on sensory inputs. This book describes and evaluates the evidence for neural mechanisms proposed to underlie CNS plasticity in the major divisions of the brain dedicated to visual processing, the retina, sub-cortical structures and cortex. Editor(s): Pinaud, Raphael; Tremere, Liisa A.; Weerd, Peter de. Num Pages: 364 pages, 4 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: PSAN. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 25. Weight in Grams: 806.
Mechanisms of neural plasticity enable the encoding and memorization of information based on sensory inputs and can be harnessed to partially restore function after CNS assault such as stroke or head trauma. In the present book, experts from the field of visual system plasticity describe and evaluate the evidence for neural mechanisms proposed to underlie CNS plasticity in the major divisions of the brain dedicated to visual processing, the retina, sub-cortical structures and cortex. We present studies from a wide variety of disciplines that range from molecular biology to neurophysiology and computer modeling. Leading investigators discuss their own work, and ... Read more

Reviews for Plasticity in the Visual System
From the reviews: "Plasticity in the Visual System is a compilation of work of renowned scientists into the neural mechanisms that underlie plasticity of the visual system. … The book will be appealing to neuroscientists interested in plasticity in general and particularly to those interested in the visual system. The book is also accessible to ... Read more
