Uniquely bridging all levels of neurobiological analysis, this book describes and explains step-by-step the concepts, methods, findings and conclusions of modern learning research. This text starts with a treatment of simple nervous systems and molecular mechanisms, proceeds to more complex learning and development, and concludes with the functional organization of highly complex memory systems in the human brain and their disintegration in amnesia. This book, supplemented by 1100 references and many illustrations, is intended for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses, as well as for neuroscientists who seek a comprehensive overview of the field. It should also be of interest to scientists from other disciplines and to other readers who wish to learn about the new neurobiology of learning.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"Dudai attempts to achieve two goals: to write a textbook on the neurobiology of learning and memory that is accessible to advanced undergraduate and graduate students, and to provide a reference text for neuroscientists interested in this field. In general, the book achieves both aims . . . . well written, extensively referenced, and thoughtful--an excellent acquisition for any upper division undergraduate or university library with clientele interested in the biology of behavior." --Choice
". . . Dudai's book represents a well-written and superbly illustrated up-to-date introduction to the neurobiology of memory which can serve as a valuable supplement to the more clinically orientated textbooks." --International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry
"The product of a broad and intelligent understanding of the neurobiology of learning. The author has taken a bold step in incorporating many disparate views with his own, and has produced a stimulating and valuable guide to a theory of the neural basis of memory." --Journal of Nervous and Mental Diseases
