The Neurobiology of Learning and Memory, Second Edition, provides a synthesis of this interdisciplinary field. Each chapter makes the key concepts transparent and accessible to a reader with minimal background in either neurobiology or psychology and is extensively illustrated with full-color photographs and figures depicting important concepts and experimental data. Like the First Edition, the Second Edition is organized into three parts. However, each part has been expanded to include new chapters or reorganized to incorporate new findings and concepts.Part One introduces the idea that synapses modified by experience provide the basis for memory storage. It next describes the long-term potentiation methodology used to study how synapses are modified and concepts needed to understand the organization of synapses. The remaining chapters are organized around the idea that the synaptic changes that support long-term potentiation evolve in four overlapping stages referred to as (a) generation, (b) stabilization, (c) consolidation, and (d) maintenance. The goal of each chapter is to reveal that each stage depends on unique molecular processes and to describe what they are.Part Two builds on this foundation to show how molecules and cellular processes that have been identified from studies of synaptic plasticity also participate in the making of memories.
It discusses some of the basic conceptual issues researchers face in trying to relate memory to synaptic molecules and describes some of the behavioral and neurobiological methods that are used. The chapters describing the processes involved in memory formation and consolidation have been extensively modified to provide a more detailed account of the molecular events that are engaged to ensure that established memories endure. The chapters on memory modulation and the fate of retrieved memories have been extensively modified to provide a more in-depth account of the relevant processes.Part Three is organized around the multiple memory systems view-that different neural systems have evolved to store the content contained in our experience. It features discussion of the medial-temporal hippocampal system that supports episodic memory, the concept of systems consolidation, and its relationship to Ribot's law-that memories become resistant to disruption as they age.
The cortical-striatal system and its relationship to what are called behavioral actions and habits is described, and the book ends with a discussion of neural systems involved in the acquisition and removal of emotional memories. Industry Reviews'Rudy's text is well-suited for the student of neuroscience and should also find an audience among constituents of peripheral fields such as psychology or biology. It manages to capture the breadth of the subject without becoming too dense. The student or researcher who has made it their mission to understand how memory works will find this text a great resource in orienting them to the current thinking on this topic to date.' -Mary Germino, Yale Journalof Biology and Medicine'I felt fortunate to discover a well-written, lucid description that distills the principles of the biomolecular and biophysical processes of learning and memory in a logically organized format (three themes), and is understandable and well received by my undergraduate audience. I appreciate that the figures are simple yet very informative.' Ferragamo, Gustavus Adolphus College'This textbook does a great job of covering details without overwhelming the students with too much information that can often be present in review articles.
The organization is perfect. I love how the chapters are written in the same order as the process of memory formation and consolidation. This really helps my students learn the material and allows me to organize my syllabus in a very clear and logical manner.'
-Thomas Newpher, Duke University'I am very happy overall with the textbook. The material is intrinsically fascinating, and it is presented in a logical manner that builds from molecular to systems levels.
This text covers a broad range of aspects of neurobiology of learning and memory in a concise manner that highlights important original studies. Some of my students are surprised by the fluidity and unanswered questions in the field of learning and memory; they are expecting the informationto be unambiguous or indisputable fact. The text does a great job of presenting the field as a developing story. I appreciate the approach of introducing the major investigators of the field, as keyplayers in an ongoing story, as their work is presented.' -Laura Harrison, Tulane University'This is the best book available on the topic.
It covers all of the relevant subject matter, has a solid and understandable organizational scheme, clear and concise explanations, and excellent graphics. Typically, books on this topic are dense and aimed at the graduate level. This book is very appropriate for undergraduate students.'
-Marise Parent, Georgia State University'The book provides excellent foundations for my advanced seminar course. It would also be excellent for a lower-level lecture course (e.g., third year). Complex concepts are made simple, important information is highlighted, and the book still integrates subtleties in the research without being burdening. Students appreciate the book and consider it a necessary tool for the course. Students with a neuroscience background typically emphasize their liking of howthe book provides a clear yet in-depth description of the formation and maintenance of memory at a cellular level. In contrast, those that have a minimal neuroscience background tend to be overwhelmedby the chapters describing the cellular changes. However, all students like the systems view and discussion and there is a nice balance across chapters.
Please note that I have students that opted to pursue graduate school in specific neuroscience areas because of material described in this textbook.' -Hugo Lehmann, Trent University. 1.Introduction: Fundamental Concepts and Historical FoundationsPart 1.

Professor Rudy's research interests center on learning and memory processes. His research focused primarily on understanding the complementary contributions the hippocampus and neocortex make to learning and memory and the influence immune products have on memory. He is currently the director of the undergraduate neuroscience program at the University of Colorado, Boulder.Review:'Congratulations on a great book, and one that was sorely needed.
It's just what I wanted, and my students also love it. They range from cognitive psychology to molecular biology and biophysics, and the text is suitable for all. I think you've written a classic!' - Thomas Brown, Yale University, USA 'Rudy has served up a winner with his new book, The Neurobiology of Learning and Memory. He has hit the sweet spot for those of us looking for a text with appropriate depth in both the conceptual issues related to behavioral change and the neurobiological principles of synaptic plasticity. This book is accessible for newcomers to neuroscience, yet maintains the sophistication that is necessary to challenge more advanced neuroscience students.
My students, from various academic backgrounds, love it.' - Richard Hyson, Florida State University, USA -Richard Hyson, Florida State University, USA'About this title' may belong to another edition of this title.
