Resumen del libro
| Publisher Summary 1 |
| Posner (psychology, Institute of Neuroscience, U. of Oregon) describes this volume as a "snapshot of the rather amazing progress" made in cognitive, neurosystemic, cellular, synaptic and genetic research on attention. The papers all approach attention as an organ system but vary in the methods of research they report. Posner has grouped them by method and focus into sections on cognitive studies, imaging, genes and synapses, development, and deficits of attention. Individual topics include probing the flexibility of attentional orienting in the human brain; attention-related signaling activities of the D4 dopamine receptor; and attention, emotion and the development of psychopathology.

| Publisher Summary 2 |
This volume presents the latest advances in understanding attention: its anatomy, circuitry, functions, and deficits. Outstanding investigators have written brief yet substantive chapters in which they not only summarize key findings but also illuminate their goals and the directions their research is taking. Coverage includes different cognitive models of attention; knowledge emerging from functional imaging and genetic studies; and neurophysiological, developmental, and neuropsychological approaches. Emerging knowledge is presented on processes that impair or alter attention, and clinical implications are discussed. Linking many levels of analysis, and featuring over 100 illustrations, the book moves us closer to a coherent view of the attentional system and the key role it plays in everyday life. |
