Santiago Ramón y Cajal

Edward G. Jones

This is the first English-language publication of the complete works of the great Spanish neurohistologist, Santiago Ramon y Cajal, on the cerebral cortex. The new translations include all Cajal's very early contributions on the cortex of small mammals, relevant chapters from his definitivetextbook, and all his great works on the human cerebral cortex made at the peak of his career. The book also presents Cajal's surveys of cortical structure dating from his later years. It is extensively annotated, and the editors have verified and completed all Cajal's references. Specialintroductory chapters review the state of knowledge during each period covered, and the work concludes with an extensive essay on modern cortical neurohistology in which the quality and lasting significance of Cajal's contributions are highlighted.

Cajal on the Cerebral Cortex

Mircea Steriade

This monograph is based on two symposia organized by the Neurosciences Institute at The Rockefeller University. Presents current knowledge on the thalamus and views the thalamus as a whole rather than as a collection of unrelated nuclear masses. Chapters are organized in four sections--history, morphology, electrophysiology, and state-related cellular modes. Topics addressed include the structure and function of intrinsic thalamic circuitry, thalamic modulation by cortical and brain-stem projections, and the feedback onto the brain stem of thalamocortical and paleocortical transactions.
