Concurrently, this text illustrates how research focusing on this single brain structure has revealed principles of wider generality for the whole brain in relation to anatomical connectivity, neural and synaptic plasticity, cognition and behaviour, and computational algorithms. Covering theory, experimental data and translational relevance, this uniquely authoritative work vividly illustrates the progress that continues to be made in unravelling the workings of the brain. The Hippocampus Book will be of interest to those working in a range of neuroscientific disciplines, ranging from the molecular biology of neural function and dysfunction, through network physiology to behavior and neuropathology and take pride of place on the bookshelves of all with an interest in the brain and its functions.
Richard Morris, DPhil, is Professor of Neuroscience at the University of Edinburgh. He is the co-founder of Edinburgh Neuroscience and served as the Head of Neuroscience and Mental Health at the Wellcome Trust where he helped establish the Sainsbury-Wellcome Centre for Neural Circuits and Behaviour. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society and, in 2020, became an international member of the US National Academy of Sciences. David G. Amaral, PhD, is Distinguished Professor of Psychiatry and Neuroscience at the University of California, Davis. He has studied the neuroanatomical organization and function of medial temporal lobe structures including the hippocampal formation and amygdaloid complex, and has used MRI and behavioral techiques to study children with autism. He is Editor-in-Chief of Autism Research. In 2019, Dr. Amaral was elected to the US National Academy of Medicine. Tim Bliss, PhD, is a Group Leader Emeritus at the Francis Crick Institute, London. He is the former head of the Division of Neurophysiology at the MRC National Institute for Medical Research in Mill Hill, London from 1967-2006. His work with Terje Lømo provided the first full description of long-term synaptic potentiation (LTP). He is a Fellow of the Royal Society and was a co-recipient of the Greta Lundbeck Brain Prize with Graham Collingridge and fellow editor Richard Morris for their work on synaptic plasticity. John O'Keefe, PhD, is a Professor at the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre for Neural Circuits and Behaviour and the Department of Cell and Developmental Biology at University College London. He was co-recipient of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2014 for his discovery of place cells in the hippocampus, important for spatial navigation and the determination of physical position in mammals. Karen Duff, PhD, is the Centre Director of the UK Dementia Research Institute at University College London. She has developed several important mouse models for Alzheimer's disease and FTD tauopathies which are used extensively for mechanistic and translational studies. She was awarded the Potamkin Prize in 2006 and is a Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences.
