This is an exciting time for brain science. Recent progress has been such that it now seems realistic to look towards an explanation of mind in terms of the brain's anatomy and physiology. This advance has been made possible by gains on several research fronts, but it had been due even more to the way in which different neural disciplines have interacted with one another. Models based on artificially symmetrical arrays of idealized neurons are now being superseded by ones which properly take into account the brain's actual circuitry. This book presents a comprehensive overview of the current state of brain modelling, containing contributions from many leading researchers in this field. It will be of interest not only to researchers in the fields of brain science and neurobiology, but also to psychologists and those involved in the study of artificial intelligence.
