Download or read book The Evolution of Memory Systems written by Elisabeth A. Murray and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current theories about human memory have been shaped by clinical observations and animal experiments. This doctrine holds that the medial temporal lobe subserves one memory system for explicit or declarative memories, while the basal ganglia subserves a separate memory system for implicit or procedural memories, including habits. Cortical areas outside the medial temporal lobe are said to function in perception, motor control, attention, or other aspects of executive function, but not in memory. 'The Evolution of Memory Systems' advances dramatically different ideas on all counts. It proposes that several memory systems arose during evolution and that they did so for the same general reason: to transcend problems and exploit opportunities encountered by specific ancestors at particular times and places in the distant past. Instead of classifying cortical areas in terms of mutually exclusive perception, executive, or memory functions, the authors show that all cortical areas contribute to memory and that they do so in their own ways-using specialized neural representations. The book also presents a proposal on the evolution of explicit memory. According to this idea, explicit (declarative) memory depends on interactions between a phylogenetically ancient navigation system and a representational system that evolved in humans to represent one's self and others. As a result, people embed representations of themselves into the events they experience and the facts they learn, which leads to the perception of participating in events and knowing facts. 'The Evolution of Memory Systems' is an important new work for students and researchers in neuroscience, psychology, and biology.

Book excerpt: A New York Times Notable Book "This is a supremely hopeful book, one that feels important because it shows that happiness, while not always easy, is still a subject worthy of art." —Brandon Taylor, The New York Times Book Review Japan’s internationally celebrated master storyteller returns with five stories of women on their way to healing that vividly portrays the blissful moments and everyday sorrows that surround us in everyday life First published in Japan in 2003 and never before published in the United States, Dead-End Memories collects the stories of five women who, following sudden and painful events, quietly discover their ways back to recovery. Among the women we meet in Dead-End Memories is one betrayed by her fiancé who finds a perfect refuge in an apartment above her uncle’s bar while seeking the real meaning of happiness. In “House of Ghosts,” the daughter of a yoshoku restaurant owner encounters the ghosts of a sweet elderly couple who haven’t yet realized that they’ve been dead for years. In “Tomo-chan’s Happiness,” an office worker who is a victim of sexual assault finally catches sight of the hope of romance. Yoshimoto’s gentle, effortless prose reminds us that one true miracle can be as simple as having someone to share a meal with, and that happiness is always within us if only we take a moment to pause and reflect. Discover this collection of what Yoshimoto herself calls the “most precious work of my writing career.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fifteen-year-old Maya makes every effort to take good care of her younger siblings while her mother works away from home. But when her younger brother Jackson is injured on her watch, Maya finds herself at a loss, lacking the guidance of the adults in her life. A series of devastating, life-altering events ensue, events that Maya and her family members must all begin to heal from. Life experience and the wisdom of their Elders has taught Maya’s parents, Nancy and Russell, that it is through difficulty and failure that we learn, and that the grief journey is a process. But Maya is young and vulnerable, mired in grief, guilt, and anger, despite her parents’ attempts to help her. When she starts to engage with some troubled youth in the community, Nancy and Russell fear the worst. Nonetheless, there is a reason Maya was given the spirit name “Dragonfly” at birth. Dragonflies gain colour on their wings as they mature. It doesn’t happen overnight, and it certainly doesn’t happen without pain and suffering. Tragic, meditative, tender, and wise, The Colour of Dragonfly Wings tells the beginning of a young woman’s journey to earn her colours.
