Cognition and Emotion in the Brain: Selected Topics of the International Symposium on Limbic and Association Cortical Systems, Toyama, Japan 7-12 ... 1250) (International Congress, Volume 1250)

This volume contains the papers presented at the International Symposium on Limbic and Association Cortical Systems held in Japan between 7 and 12 October 2002. One of the goals of neuroscience is to understand the neural mechanisms of the human mind. Cognition and emotion are key factors to approach the problem of the mind; the limbic system and association cortices are crucial brain areas implicated in these mental processes. It is intended to fulfill the need for a broad compendium of the most recent empirical and theoretical advances in the field of cognition and emotion, especially focusing on the roles of the limbic and association cortical systems.
