Publisher's Synopsis
This high quality reference volume is the result of a number of up-to-date contributions selected on strict scientific criteria. Being of interest to neuroscientists in general, the work focusses on results heightening understanding of the structure and function of the CNS, whilst exploring the extent to which the findings made in the hippocampus can be extrapolated to other brain regions. The book has been compiled as a tribute to Professor Theodor W. Blackstad and his pioneering work on the anatomy of the hippocampal region. His outstanding contribution to science has undoubtedly influenced most of the many neuroscientists who today use the hippocampal region as a model in their research.
