Computational neuroscientists have recently turned to modeling olfactory structures because these are likely to have the same functional properties as currently popular network designs for perception and memory. This book provides a useful survey of current work on olfactory system circuitry, including connections of this system to brain structures involved in cognition and memory, and describes the computational models of olfactory processing that have been developed to date.
Contributions cover empirical investigations of the neurobiology of the olfactory systems (anatomy, physiology, synaptic plasticity, behavioral physiology) as well as the application of computer models to understanding these systems. Fundamental issues in olfactory processing by the nervous systems such as experimental strategies in the study of olfaction, stages of odor processing, and critical questions in sensory coding are considered across empirical/applied boundaries and throughout the contribut
Editorial : Once overlooked by most neuroscientists, the olfactory system lately has come into its own. This welcome volume, featuring contributions by leading neurobiologists and computational neuroscientists, spotlights recent progress in experimental and theoretical research on the olfactory system. These chapters treat the reader to splendid examples of the benefits of combining neuroanatomical, neurophysiological, and behavioral work with computational approaches and modeling in studies of neural systems.

Olfaction is our least understood sense and might seem an unlikely candidate for computational modeling. This book makes a convincing case that our sense of smell is ripe for modeling at the cellular and network levels and may be a better system for studying learning than our sense of vision.

Walt Gunn's book helped me overcome my fear of flying. Ulam who was one of the inventors of thermonuclear weapons originally used the technique to calculate the multiplication of neutrons in a hydrogen bomb. I really enjoyed the story, how Anne found her true love in the 1800s . I just finished reading My Mama's Waltz. It's too bad we've lost them to the car. The characters are as believable as those of Ian Fleming, yet far less intriguing or sexy.
In sum, this book is lousy. Once they hop into bed with each other so many times the story is diluted to the point you loose interest.. I read "Spain's Cause Was Mine" a couple of years ago, but I recently revisited it and was once again struck by the humanity, nobility and idealism of Hank Rubin. Occasionally a professor will insist on the current edition and I still save a ton of money buying it used on Amazon.com. It's certainly the most detailed account of the IAS computer project that I have seen. daqueles que consideram conte&uacu
