The New Cognitive Neurosciences
Second Edition
Edited by Michael S. Gazzaniga

The first edition of The Cognitive Neurosciences helped to define the field. The second edition reflects the many advances that have taken place-particularly in imaging and recording techniques. From the molecular level up to that of human consciousness, the contributions cover one of the most fascinating areas of science—the relationship between the structural and physiological mechanisms of the brain/nervous system and the psychological reality of mind. The majority of the chapters in this edition of The Cognitive Neurosciences are new, and those from the first edition have been completely rewritten and updated.

This major reference work is now available online as part of MIT CogNet, The Cognitive and Brain Sciences Community online.
