TLDR
The editors have done a masterful job of weaving together the biologic, the behavioral, and the clinical sciences into a single tapestry in which everyone from the molecular biologist to the practicing psychiatrist can find and appreciate his or her own research.Abstract:
I have developed "tennis elbow" from lugging this book around the past four weeks, but it is worth the pain, the effort, and the aspirin. It is also worth the (relatively speaking) bargain price. Including appendixes, this book contains 894 pages of text. The entire panorama of the neural sciences is surveyed and examined, and it is comprehensive in its scope, from genomes to social behaviors. The editors explicitly state that the book is designed as "an introductory text for students of biology, behavior, and medicine," but it is hard to imagine any audience, interested in any fragment of neuroscience at any level of sophistication, that would not enjoy this book.

Lack of habituation causes high intensity dependence of auditory evoked cortical potentials in migraine
TL;DR: This study confirms that IDAP is higher in migraineurs than in healthy controls and shows that the AEP habituation is replaced by potentiation at all stimulus intensities, and proposes that it is due to a decreased pre-activation level of sensory cortices.

Perspectives of Chronic Pain: An Evaluative Comparison of Restrictive and Comprehensive Models
TL;DR: The restrictive perspectives could be rejected for not providing a model in which chronic pain can be thoroughly investigated, and the comprehensive perspectives demonstrate greater potential for serving that role.

OB protein binds specifically to the choroid plexus of mice and rats.
Rene Devos,J G Richards,L A Campfield,Louis A. Tartaglia,Yves Guisez,J. Van der Heyden,J Travernier,Geert Plaetinck,Paul Burn +8 more
TL;DR: It is reported here that recombinant OB protein binds specifically to the choroid plexus and its displacement by unlabeled OB protein was similar in lean, obese ob/ob, and obese db/db mice as well as lean and obese Zucker rats.

Tactile sensory substitution: Models for enaction in HCI
TL;DR: The field of tactile sensory substitution is surveyed, an area of science and engineering that lies at the intersection of such research domains as neuroscience, haptics, and sensory prosthetics, and is argued that this area of research is of high relevance to the design and understanding of enactive interfaces that make use of touch.
Journal ArticleDOI
Allocentric spatial and tactile memory impairments in rats with dorsal caudate lesions are affected by preoperative behavioral training.
TL;DR: Results showed that behavioral impairment after damage to the caudate is not restricted to egocentric tasks as previously suggested, but the caUDate seems to be involved in the initial acquisition of information that is invariant over many trials.

Machine Learning : A Probabilistic Perspective
TL;DR: This textbook offers a comprehensive and self-contained introduction to the field of machine learning, based on a unified, probabilistic approach, and is suitable for upper-level undergraduates with an introductory-level college math background and beginning graduate students.

Brain-computer interfaces for communication and control.
Jonathan R. Wolpaw,Jonathan R. Wolpaw,Niels Birbaumer,Niels Birbaumer,Dennis J. McFarland,Gert Pfurtscheller,Theresa M. Vaughan +6 more
TL;DR: With adequate recognition and effective engagement of all issues, BCI systems could eventually provide an important new communication and control option for those with motor disabilities and might also give those without disabilities a supplementary control channel or a control channel useful in special circumstances.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure and function of the blood–brain barrier
TL;DR: The structure and function of the BBB is summarised, the physical barrier formed by the endothelial tight junctions, and the transport barrier resulting from membrane transporters and vesicular mechanisms are described.
Book
Being There: Putting Brain, Body, and World Together Again
TL;DR: Clark as mentioned in this paper argues that the mental has been treated as a realm that is distinct from the body and the world, and argues that a key to understanding brains is to see them as controllers of embodied activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nature-nuture reconceptualized in developmental perspective: A bioecological model.
TL;DR: The authors propose an empirically testable theoretical model that goes beyond and qualifies the established behavioral genetics paradigm by allowing for nonadditive synergistic effects, direct measures of the environment, and mechanisms of organism-environment interaction through which genotypes are transformed into phenotypes.
