The Hippocampus

This volume presents an overview of this field of neuroscience, from the historical overview to recent findings, from the basic assessment of LTP to the latest study of clinical patients. This volume aims to provide a better understanding of the widespread functions of the hippocampus and their relevance to clinical conditions. To fulfill this purpose, attention is first focused on the basic mechanism of memory processing, then on four major clinical disorders: ischemia and neuronal death, epilepsy, memory impairment, and pschiatric disorder. The book should provide a perspective on basic and clinical research on the hippocampus.
