Neuroscience of Preference and Choice: Cognitive and Neural Mechanisms

ISBN: 978-0-12-381431-9, Elsevier 2012

One of the most pressing questions in neuroscience, psychology and economics today is how does the brain generate preferences and make choices? With a unique interdisciplinary approach, this volume is among the first to explore the cognitive and neural mechanisms mediating the generation of the preferences that guide choice. From preferences determining mundane purchases, to social preferences influencing mating choice, through to moral decisions, the authors adopt diverse approaches to answer the question. Chapters explore the instability of preferences and the common neural processes that occur across preferences. Edited by one of the world’s most renowned cognitive neuroscientists, each chapter is authored by an expert in the field, with a host of international contributors. [Amazon’s review]

The Mouse Nervous System

Charles Watson, George Paxinos, Luis Puelles (Herausgeber)
ISBN: 978-0-12-369497-3, Elsevier 2012

„The Mouse Nervous System“ provides a comprehensive account of the central nervous system of the mouse. The book is aimed at molecular biologists who need a book that introduces them to the anatomy of the mouse brain and spinal cord, but also takes them into the relevant details of development and organization of the area they have chosen to study. „The Mouse Nervous System“ offers a wealth of new information for experienced anatomists who work on mice. The book serves as a valuable resource for researchers and graduate students in neuroscience. Its visualization of brain white matter anatomy via 3D diffusion tensor imaging contrasts enhances relationship of anatomy to function. Its systematic consideration of the anatomy and connections of all regions of brain and spinal cord by the authors of the most cited rodent brain atlases. It covers a major section (12 chapters) on functional systems related to motor control, sensation, and behavioral and emotional states, it includes full segmentation of 170120+ brain regions more clearly defines structure boundaries than previous point-and-annotate anatomical labeling, and connectivity is mapped in a way not provided by traditional atlases. It is a detailed analysis of gene expression during development of the forebrain by Luis Puelles, the leading researcher in this area. It features full coverage of the role of gene expression during development, and the new field of genetic neuroantomy using site-specific recombinases. It contains examples of the use of mouse models in the study of neurological illness. [Amazon’s review]

Addiction Neuroethics: The Ethics of Addiction Neuroscience Research and Treatment

Adrian Carter, Wayne Hall, Judy Illes
ISBN: 978-0-12-385973-0, Elsevier 2012

Research increasingly suggests that addiction has a genetic and neurobiological basis, but efforts to translate research into effective clinical treatments and social policy needs to be informed by careful ethical analyses of the personal and social implications. Scientists and policy makers alike must consider possible unintended negative consequences of neuroscience research so that the promise of reducing the burden and incidence of addiction can be fully realized and new advances translated into clinically meaningful and effective treatments. This volume brings together leading addiction researchers and practitioners with neuroethicists and social scientists to specifically discuss the ethical, philosophical, legal and social implications of neuroscience research of addiction, as well as its translation into effective, economical and appropriate policy and treatments. Chapters explore the history of ideas about addiction, the neuroscience of drug use and addiction, prevention and treatment of addiction, the moral implications of addiction neuroscience, legal issues and human rights, research ethics, and public policy. This is the first comprehensive volume dealing with ethical and public policy implications of neurobiological research on addiction. It features outstanding and truly international scholarship, with chapters written by leading experts in neuroscience, addiction medicine, psychology and more. It informs psychologists of related research in neuroscience and vice versa, giving researchers easy one-stop access to knowledge outside their area of specialty. [Amazon’s review]
