Theoretical Neuroscience : Understanding Cognition
This textbook is an introduction to Systems and Theoretical/Computational Neuroscience, with a particular emphasis on cognition.It consists of three parts: Part I covers fundamental concepts and mathematical models in computational neuroscience, along with cutting-edge topics.Part II explores the building blocks of cognition, including working memory (how the brain maintains and manipulates information "online" without external input), decision making (how choices are made among multiple options under conditions of uncertainty and risk) and behavioral flexibility (how we direct attention and control actions).Part III is dedicated to frontier research, covering models of large-scale multi-regional brain systems, Computational Psychiatry and the interface with Artificial Intelligence.The author highlights the perspective of neural circuits as dynamical systems, and emphasizes a cross-level mechanistic understanding of the brain and mind, from genes and cell types to collective neural populations and behavior.Overall, this textbook provides an opportunity for readers to become well versed in this highly interdisciplinary field of the twenty-first century. Key FeaturesRooted in the most recent advances in experimental studies of basic cognitive functionsIntroduces neurobiological and mathematical concepts so that the book is self-containedHeavily illustrated with high-quality figures that help to illuminate neurobiological concepts, present experimental findings and explain mathematical modelsConcludes with a list of core cognitive behavior tasks, ten take-home messages and three open questions for future researchComputer model codes are available via GitHub for hands-on practice

Understanding Your Child's Brain
Understanding Your Child's Brain simplifies the neuroscience behind what is going on in a child’s brain during the first six years of life to help parents develop the full intellectual and emotional potential of their children.The book starts with an accessible explanation of the pillars and principals to understanding the child’s brain.It then provides tools to helps parents communicate more effectively with, nurture empathy in, and enforce rules and positive behaviours for their children.Examining how to develop the emotional intelligence of children as well as their intellect, the chapters examine how to raise children based on trust, assertiveness, and fearlessness, while also providing support and exercises in improving language, memory, creativity, and self-control. This book offers parents and educators practical solutions to parenting problems and realistic advice for ensuring the healthy emotional and intellectual development of their children.It will also be relevant to all mental health professionals who want to be more assertive when talking to parents about their child’s problems and growth.

The Neuroscience of Meditation : Understanding Individual Differences
The Neuroscience of Meditation: Understanding Individual Differences explores the individual differences in learning and practicing meditation, while also providing insights on how to learn and practice effectively.The book comprehensively covers the research in brain areas and networks that mediate the positive effects of meditation upon physical and mental health.Though it examines how people differ in how they learn and practice meditation, it underscores how underlying mechanisms differ in learning and practicing meditation and how they remain unclear to researchers.This book addresses the research gap and explores the brain science behind meditation.

Philosophy, Literature and Understanding : On Reading and Cognition
Challenging existing methodological conceptions of the analytic approach to aesthetics, Jukka Mikkonen brings together philosophy, literary studies and cognitive psychology to offer a new theory on the cognitive value of reading fiction. Philosophy, Literature and Understanding defends the epistemic significance of narratives, arguing that it should be explained in terms of understanding rather than knowledge.Mikkonen formulates understanding as a cognitive process, which he connects to narrative imagining in order to assert that narrative is a central tool for communicating understanding.Demonstrating the effects that literary works have on their readers, he examines academic critical analysis, responses of the reading public and nonfictional writings that include autobiographical testimony to their writer’s influences and attitudes to life.In doing so, he provides empirical evidence of the cognitive benefits of literature and of how readers demonstrate the growth of their understanding. By drawing on the written testimony of the reader, this book is an important intervention into debates on the value of literature that incorporates understanding in new and imaginative ways.

Understanding Neuroplasticity and Neurodiversity in the Classroom : A Handbook for SENCos and Teachers
A unique and innovative book for all teachers and SENCos that explores the intersection of neurodiversity and neuroplasticity in order to provide better outcomes for neurodivergent pupils. Neurodiversity involves an understanding that neurological differences should be honoured and respected.It is a strengths-based model based on the idea that people experience and interact with the world around them in many different ways, advocating that there is no single right way of thinking, learning, and behaving.In effect, neurodiversity can be used as a construct to understand those ‘labelled’ with a special educational need and disability.Neuroplasticity is the brain’s ability to change and adapt in response to experiences, especially important for children who struggle to learn. This book unravels how teachers can contribute to rewiring neural pathways to reshape as opposed to ‘fix’, demonstrating how making new connections in the brain enables pupils to realise their full potential.Rich with research, case studies, and thought-provoking questions, this book sheds light on an innovative and timely topic. As the demand for teacher support in this area grows, it helps practitioners identify alternative approaches for those who might need more personalised learning and teaching in the classroom.

Understanding Bakhtin, Understanding Modernism
Explores and illuminates the impact of the Russian philosopher Mikhail Bakhtin on our understanding of literary modernism. This volume explores the subject of modernism as seen through the lens of Bakhtinian criticism and in doing so offers a rounded and up-to-date example of the application of Bakhtinian theory to a field of research.The contributors consider the global spread of modernism and the variety of its manifestations as well as modernism’s relationship to popular culture and its collective elaboration, which are dominant concerns in Bakhtin’s thinking.As with other volumes in the Understanding Philosophy, Understanding Modernism series, the volume is divided into three parts.Part 1 provides readings of Bakhtin’s work in the context of literary modernism.Part 2 features case studies of modernist art and artists and their relation to Bakhtinian theory. The final part provides a glossary of key terms in Bakhtin’s work.
