In The Brain and Emotion, Edmund Rolls provides a modern neuroscience-based approach to understanding the brain mechanisms involved in emotion, and motivated behaviours such as hunger, thirst, sexual behaviour and addiction. Rolls links his analysis of the neural structures and mechanisms of emotion and motivation to a wider consideration of what emotions are, how they evolved, and why emotional and motivational feelings - and ultimately consciousness itself - might arise in the brain.

What produces emotions? Why and how do we have emotions? Why do emotional states feel like something? What is the relation between emotion, and reward value, and subjective feelings of pleasure? How does the brain implement decision-making? Are gene-defined rewards and emotions in the interests of the genes, and does rational multistep planning enable us to go beyond selfish genes to long-term plans and social contracts in the interests of the individual? This book seeks explanations of emotion and decision-making by considering these and other questions.

'Brain Computations and Connectivity' is about how the brain works and elucidates what is computed in different brain systems and describes current biologically plausible computational approaches and models of how each of these brain systems computes.

This work provides insights into the principles of operation of the cerebral cortex. These principles are key to understanding how we, as humans, function. The author includes appendices on the operation of many of the neuronal networks described in the book.

Dans ses Questions romaines, Plutarque convie son lecteur à une promenade à travers Rome, chaque station étant à la fois l’occasion d’observer des éléments d’architecture et d’aborder un thème en lien avec la vie, la culture, la politique ou la religion. C’est du moins à partir de cette lecture « topographique » élaborée par John Scheid que s’est noué un dialogue entre l’historien et son collègue, le biologiste Alain Berthoz, dialogue étendu à un vaste parcours pluridisciplinaire autour des arts de la mémoire et des images mentales. Couramment pratiquée dès l’Antiquité, la méthode des arts de la mémoire prend différentes formes au cours du temps, du théâtre de mémoire de la Renaissance à la poésie classique et contemporaine, des sciences sociales à l’architecture et à l’urbanisme, ou encore dans les neurosciences et les sciences cognitives, avec la mise en évidence des bases neurales de l’orientation. L’itinéraire proposé par ce livre nous révèle une dimension fascinante de notre histoire culturelle, toujours vivante à l’ère du numérique.
