Structural and Functional Organization of the Neocortex: Proceedings of a Symposium in the Memory of Otto D.Creutzfeldt, May 1993

The late Otto Creutzfeldt, neurobiologist, neurophysicist and neurologist, became an expert on the neocortex, the structure that interested him most. This book presents the papers from a symposium organized by some of his former collaborators to present his main research interests. In chapters addressing such aspects as development, plasticity, circuitry and higher functions, papers provide an overview of the structural and functional properties of the cerebral cortex from various perspectives, from cellular mechanisms to cognitive processes in humans.
