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.

The Relationship between Neurocognitive Function and Noncontact Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries
TL;DR: Neurocognitive differences may be associated with the loss of neuromuscular control and coordination errors, predisposing certain intercollegiate athletes to noncontact anterior cruciate ligament injuries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chronic intermittent hypoxia elicits serotonin-dependent plasticity in the central neural control of breathing.
TL;DR: It is suggested that CIH elicits unique forms of serotonin-dependent plasticity in the central neural control of breathing and enhanced LTF after CIH may involve an upregulation of a non-5-HT2 serotonin receptor subtype or subtypes.

TL;DR: It is shown that, in mice, successful reconsolidation-updating paradigms for recent memories fail to attenuate remote memories, but by using an HDAC2-targeting inhibitor (HDACi) during reconsideration, even remote memories can be persistently attenuated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stable concurrent synchronization in dynamic system networks
TL;DR: It is shown that, under mild conditions, global convergence to a concurrently synchronized regime is preserved under basic system combinations such as negative feedback or hierarchies, so that stable concurrently synchronized aggregates of arbitrary size can be constructed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enteric Neurons and Systemic Signals Couple Nutritional and Reproductive Status with Intestinal Homeostasis
TL;DR: A quantitative method based on defecation behavior is developed to uncover a central role for the Drosophila intestine in the regulation of nutrient intake, fluid, and ion balance, and identifies a key homeostatic role for autonomic neurons and hormones.

Book
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.

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.
