Recent neurobiological and molecular biological studies have provided new information about mechanisms underlying sexual differentiation of the brain. Moreover, attempts have been made to clarify sex differences by using anatomical and non-invasive techniques such as MRI or PET. Written by leading r..

The first edition of this bestseller laid the groundwork for understanding the female brain, examining the evidence of structural and functional differences between the brains of males and females. Addressing a wealth of new research, the second edition continues in this vein, leading readers throug..

This volume explores brain development during the late first trimester. The book focuses on the stretches and patches (mosaics) of the NEP matrix along the hypertrophied telencephalic, diencephalic, mesencephalic, and rhombencephalic superventricles. It identifies putative migratory paths of young n..

It has become accepted in the neuroscience community that perception and performance are quintessentially multisensory by nature. Using the full palette of modern brain imaging and neuroscience methods, this volume details current understanding in the neural bases for these phenomena as studied acro..
