"Fuster's Memory in the Cerebral Cortex is a brilliant example of an integrative, neural theory of memory by one of the pioneers of memory physiology. The thesis described in the book combines the power of neuroscience tools with those from cognitive and computer science to grapple with this universally recognized puzzle of the mind and brain. The book provides an excellent introduction to cortical function and memory research as well as an especially lucid review of the organizing principles of the connectivity, ontogeny, and hierarchical organization of the cerebral cortex. . . . This book sparkles with so many ideas, so much intelligence, such a wealth of excellent data, that I was sorry to reach the end. I recommend it most highly." -- Matthew L. Shapiro, Contemporary Psychology In Memory in the Cerebral Cortex, Joaquín M. Fuster presents the insights of more than three decades of empirical research on the neural processes by which memory is formed, stored, and retrieved. Spanning the field from neuroanatomy to modeling, this book brings together all that we presently know about the role of the cerebral cortex of the primate in memory.
