Studies of mechanisms in the brain that allow complicated things to happen in a coordinated fashion have produced some of the most spectacular discoveries in neuroscience. This book provides eloquent support for the idea that spontaneous neuron activity, far from being mere noise, is actually the source of our cognitive abilities. It takes a fresh look at the co-evolution of structure and function in the mammalian brain, illustrating how self-emerged oscillatory timing is the brains fundamental organiser of neuronal information. The small world-like connectivity of the cerebral cortex allows for global computation on multiple spatial and temporal scales. The perpetual interactions among the multiple network oscillators keep cortical systems in a highly sensitive metastable state and provide energy-efficient synchronising mechanisms via weak links. In a sequence of cycles, Gyorgy Buzsaki guides the reader from the physics of oscillations through neuronal assembly organisation to complex cognitive processing and memory storage. His clear, fluid writing accessible to any reader with some scientific knowledge is supplemented by extensive footnotes and references that make it just as gratifying and instructive a read for the specialist. The coherent view of a single author who has been at the forefront of research in this exciting field, this volume is essential reading for anyone interested in our rapidly evolving understanding of the brain.

在介绍大脑节律方面比较好的一本全方面的综述书,作者是神经科学方面的资深专家,行文流畅,除叙述整个领域的研究内容及现状外,作者本人也提出了自己对于脑节律问题的思考。正所谓站在巨人的肩膀上,大量相关文献的阅读和思考,归纳及整理,是第一步,必备且必须坚实的一步。

认识大脑的一个重要视角:大脑的运作如同一场奇妙的交响乐。正如每个单独跃动的音符,最终汇聚成为美妙的和弦;每个神经元的律动,最终汇成流畅的动作和连贯的思维。

这一学期终于把这本书看完了……大概看懂了20%吧,过几年再战一次!
