This exciting volume offers an up-to-date tour of current trends in
the neurobiology of memory while saluting Raymond Kesner's pioneering
contributions to the field as a theorist and researcher, teacher and
mentor. Starting with his signature chapter introducing the Attribute
Model of Memory, the first half of the book focuses on the central
role of the hippocampus in processing dimensions of space and time,
and branches out to memory system interactions across brain
structures. Later chapters apply the attribute model to multiple
functions of memory in learning, and to specific neurological
contexts, including Huntington's disease, traumatic brain injury, and
Fragile X. As a bonus, the book concludes with an essay on Kesner's
life and work, and reminiscences by colleagues. Among the topics
covered: How the hippocampus supports the spatial and temporal
attributes of memory. Self-regulation of memory processing centers of
the brain. Multiple memory systems: the role of Kesner's Attribute
Model in understanding the neurobiology of memory. Pattern
separation: a key processing deficit associated with aging?
· Prefrontal cortex and basal ganglia attributes
underlying behavioral flexibility. Memory disruption following
traumatic brain injury. Cognitive neuroscientists,
neuropsychologists, gerontologists, psychiatrists, and neurobiologists
will find The Neurobiological Basis of Memory both enlightening and
inspiring--much like Kesner himself.
