Gateway to memory : an introduction to neural network modeling of the hippocampus and learning

"Gateway to Memory is a valuable addition to the introductory textsdescribing neural network models of learning and memory. The early chapterspresent abstract models of brain and learning in an intuitively appealingstyle that is accessible to lay readers as well as advanced students ofnetwork modeling. Later chapters, relevant to experts as well as novices,advance cutting-edge ideas and models that are tested closely byexperimental results on learning. A particular virtue is the closeinterchange the authors maintain throughout between predictions ofcompeting models and experimental results from animal and human learning." Gordon H.

Bower , Department of Psychology, Stanford University " Gateway to Memory is an exciting and badly needed text that integratescomputational and neurobiological approaches to memory. Authoritative and clearly written, this book will be valuable for students and researchers alike." Daniel L.
