Studies of mechanisms in the brain that allow complicated things to happen in a coordinated fashion have produced some of the most spectacular discoveries in neuroscience. This book provides eloquent support for the idea that spontaneous neuron activity, far from being mere noise, is actually the source of our cognitive abilities. It takes a fresh look at the co-evolution of structure and function in the
mammalian brain, illustrating how self-emerged oscillatory timing is the brains fundamental organizer of
neuronal information. The small world-like connectivity of the cerebral cortex allows for global computation on multiple spatial and temporal scales. The perpetual interactions among the…
György Buzsáki's new book is superb. One of the problems for people trying to understand some of the spectacular
advances in science and medicine is that much of it has become not just complex, but… "Rhythms of the Brain"by Professor György Buzsáki, (member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences) There are many windows to the brain, many approaches to probe its secrets. However, a very few of them…
