In Theory of Cortical Plasticity, Nobel Laureate Leon Cooper and his collaborators present a systematic development of the Bienenstock, Cooper and Munro (BCM) theory of synaptic plasticity, and discuss experiments that test both its assumptions and consequences.This insightful book provides an elegant analysis of theoretical structure in neuroscience research, and elucidates the role BCM theory has played in guiding research leading to our pre...

This volume gives a coherent presentation of the line of research that has led to the present investigations of the biological basis for learning and memory storage and the information processing and classification properties of neural systems. It should be of interest to researchers and students working on neural systems, as well as those who are involved in the quest for an understanding of the brain.

The BCS theory of superconductivity developed in 1957 by Bardeen, Cooper and Schrieffer has been remarkably successful in explaining the properties of superconductors. In addition, concepts from BCS have been incorporated into diverse fields of physics, from nuclear physics and dense quark matter to the current standard model. Practical applications include SQUIDs, magnetic resonance imaging, superconducting electronics and the transmission of...

This invaluable book presents a theory of cortical plasticity and shows how this theory leads to experiments that test both its assumptions and consequences. It elucidates, in a manner that is accessible to students as well as researchers, the role which the BCM theory has played in guiding research and suggesting experiments that have led to our present understanding of the mechanisms underlying cortical plasticity. Most of the connections be...

Does science have limits? Where does order come from? Can we understand consciousness? Written by a Nobel Laureate, this book covers topics ranging from the relationship between art and science to the relevance of the Turing test. It will captivate anyone interested in the interaction of science with society.
