Описание:
In the 5th Edition of this highly accessible atlas, Dr. Todd Vanderah continues the mission of his esteemed colleague, Dr. John Jack Nolte, to clearly depict and explain the challenging subject of neuroanatomy. Designed to promote a rapid understanding of complex concepts, Nolte's The Human Brain in Photographs and Diagramscombines easy-to-digest coverage of the brain, spinal cord, and brainstem with carefully selected visuals to cover all aspects of the information needed for success in coursework, on exams, and in clerkships and clinical practice.
Features more than 600 high-quality figures including brain sections (transverse, coronal, axial, sagittal), 3-D reconstructions, MRIs and angiography, illustrated pathways that help you visualize anatomical structures and neuropathology.
Presents a systemic series of unlabelled whole brain sections next to corresponding sections with important structures outlined and labelled.
Includes a NEW chapter: An Introduction to Neuropathology, as well as NEW review questions online.
Helps you understand the connections between functional systems with detailed diagrams that incorporate actual brain and spinal cord sections.
Features clinical content throughout that shows how neuroanatomy applies to clinical practice.
Discusses every labelled structure in the highly illustrated glossary at the end of the book.
Shows major structures and major transitions in higher magnification for greater detail, and features bold index entries to indicate particularly clear illustrations of a given structure.
Enhanced eBook version included with purchase. Your enhanced eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references - including 68 bonus dissection videos - from the book on a variety of devices.

Описание: This book sheds new light on the problem of how the human mind evolved. Harry Smit argues that current explanations misguidedly use variants of the Cartesian conception of the mind. The author shows that combining the Aristotelian conception with Darwin`s theory provides us with far more interesting answers.

Описание: This textbook provides a collection of case studies in paleoanthropology demonstrating the method and limitations of science. The various topics selected represent important corrections in the field, some critical breakthroughs, models of good reasoning and experimental design, and important ideas emerging from normal science.

Описание: Recent advances suggest that the concept of information might hold the key to unravelling the mystery of life`s origins. This book provides fresh insights from experts in philosophy, biology, chemistry, physics, and cognitive and social sciences to provide a unique cross-disciplinary perspective on the problem. It will be of interest to students and researchers in these fields.

Описание: This book provides a comparison of the genetic circuits of Homo sapiens and Drosophila melanogaster to reveal the evidence for deep homology, from the field of evolutionary developmental biology. Individual body parts including the nervous system, limbs and heart are compared in chapters that also feature concept maps and encyclopaedic tables to aid learning.

Описание: Dopamine is the most widely studied of all neurotransmitters in the human brain. In this text, Fred Previc puts forth a provocative evolutionary theory, positing that high levels of dopamine account for all major aspects of uniquely human behaviour, including abstract intelligence, creativity, exploration, religious behaviour and left-hemispheric thought.

Описание: Researchers who study ancient human diets tend to focus on meat eating, since the practice of butchery is very apparent in the archaeological record. In this volume, Julie Lesnik brings a different food source into view, tracing evidence that humans and their hominin ancestors also consumed insects throughout the entire course of human evolution. Lesnik investigates the role of insects in the diets of hunter-gatherers and our nonhuman primate cousins in order to deduce what insect consumption looked like in the past. She approaches the question from the perspectives of primatology, sociocultural anthropology, reproductive physiology, and paleoanthropology. Lesnik posits that women would likely spend more time foraging for and eating insects than men, arguing that this pattern is important to note because women are too often ignored in reconstructions of ancient human behavior. Because of the abundance of insects and the low risk of acquiring them, insects were a reliable food source that mothers used to feed their families over the past five million years. Although they are consumed worldwide to this day, insects are not usually considered to be food in Western societies. Tying together ancient history with our modern lives, Lesnik points out that insects are a highly nutritious and very sustainable food. Lesnik believes that if we accept that edible insects are a part of the human legacy, we may have new conversations about what is good to eat—both in past diets and for the future of food.

Описание: Taking an interdisciplinary approach to the evolution of human nature, this book explores the role of desires and fears in motivating human social and political behaviour. Vannelli examines current fossil, geological and anthropological evidence, arguing that human nature can be conceptualised as species-typical desires and fears, derived from sexual selection.

Описание: This book presents a new, detailed examination that explains how elegant brains have been shaped in evolution. In fact, Europe`s big science and technology projects, a EURO1 billion plan called the Human Brain Project and the Blue Brain Project to understand mammalian brain networks, have been launched in recent years.
