 The Learning Brain

Edited by E.A. Asratyan. P.V. Simonov

The book Is devoted to the findings of research carried out at the Institute of Higher Nervous Activity and Neurophysiology (USSR Academy of Science), the thirtieth anniversary of whose founding; was celebrated in 1980.

The papers are linked hv the common theoretical position of their authors, who basing themselves on the work of Sechenov, Pavlov and Ukhtomsky, the fathers of Soviet physiology, employed the broad arsenal of modern experimental technique and mathematical data processing.

The general theme is physiological mechanisms of learning and memory, i.e. the processes

of the elaboration, retention and realization of conditioned reflexes.

The original approach of the authors to the pressing problems of modern science about activity of the brain will make it interesting for a broad circle of readers.
