Some brain-state transitions such as sleep cycling, and anesthetic induction, are obvious and detected readily with a few EEG electrodes, and others such as the emergence of gamma rhythms during cognition are more subtle. This book contends that the bulk changes in brain behavior can be treated as phase transitions between distinct brain states.

The activity of neurons in the brain is 'noisy' in that their firing times are random when they are firing at a given rate. This book explores randomness in the operation of brain cells, showing how it can be advantageous in decision-making, in memory, and in many brain functions.

This book was originally published in 2004 and concerns developmental neurobiology. In the decade preceding publication, developmental neurobiology made important strides towards elucidating the pathophysiology of psychiatric disorders. Nowhere has this link between basic science and clinical insights become clearer than in the field of schizophrenia research.

Mental imagery is the ability to form perceptual-like representations of objects or events on the basis of information stored in memory. This book is a state-of-the-art review of the field of mental imagery, showing its application in the fields of rehabilitation, learning, and sport, and exploring the neural bases of mental and motor imagery.

Written for graduates and researchers in neuroscience, computer science, biomedical engineering and psychology, the author presents a number of neural network models that incorporate associative, attentional, configural and timing mechanisms and shows, through computer simulations, how they explain the multiple properties of associative learning.

Since their discovery as HIV co-receptors in 1996, chemokine receptors have been widely studied within the field of HIV pathogenesis, including neuroAIDS. However, though their role in infection of target cells and in inflammatory/immune responses is relatively well-characterized, their relevance with respect to neuropathogenesis is still unclear.
