Resena: Memory: The Key to Consciousness
by
Richard F. Thompson and Stephen A. Madigan
This is a fine book on recent research in memory by a noted neuroscientist and researcher. Since I am familiar with Thompson's work on learning and memory, and one of my own doctoral professors worked under Thompson, whose name was Dave Lavond, who is a fine neuroscientist himself (and a great person as well who I was lucky to have as my professor), I thought I'd post a comment here about it.
As with many other areas of brain research, work on memory has expanded and accelerated in recent years, benefitting from new approaches such as sensitive MRI scans and other ways of getting more detailed information about the brain. Thompson's book presents many facets of these recent findings in a readable and enjoyable way. The field certainly has progressed since I was studying it as a graduate student over 20 years ago, and I learned a lot from this book.
