Memory Formation Gaps

Sinopse

"Memory Formation Gaps" explores how our brains convert experiences into lasting memories, highlighting the gaps in our understanding of this complex process. The book delves into the mechanisms behind synaptic plasticity, the changes in brain circuitry crucial for memory, and examines the roles of brain regions like the hippocampus and amygdala. It questions why some memories fade while others endure, and how neural representations are stabilized over time.

The book progresses by first introducing the fundamentals of memory encoding, consolidation, and retrieval. Next, it explores synaptic plasticity at the molecular level, and the systems-level organization of memory across different brain regions. A key focus is on forgetting, examining theories of decay and interference.

The book concludes by discussing the clinical implications of memory research for treating memory disorders and cognitive decline. It emphasizes the importance of understanding the limitations of our current knowledge to stimulate new research directions, and improve therapies for neurodegenerative diseases.

This book uniquely emphasizes the unsolved mysteries within memory research, going beyond established facts to critically examine the boundaries of our understanding. It draws evidence from human studies, animal models, and neuroimaging data, connecting diverse fields like pharmacology and computer science. By acknowledging these gaps, "Memory Formation Gaps" promotes a nuanced view of memory, crucial for students, researchers, and clinicians in cognitive psychology, neuroscience, and biology.

Wild Cities: Discovering New...

Chris Fitch

'Mind-shifting, heart-lifting' ISABELLA TREE
'Inspiring and essential' ALASTAIR HUMPHREYS
'As entertaining as it is enlightening' INDEPENDENT, ★★★★★
Nature isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity. But today the majority of the world’s population lives in some form of urban environment. And by 2050, two-thirds of humanity will live in towns and cities.
Studies have shown that a daily walk in the woods can improve our health and happiness, that those who can observe a natural scene through a hospital window will recover faster. The sound of birds, the smell of tree oils, the presence of free-flowing water – these are all vital to our wellbeing. So as the human footprint of brick, concrete and metal expands, how do we protect our connection to the natural world?
In Wild Cities, Chris Fitch leads us around the world in search of answers, visiting pioneering cities and meeting the people working at the forefront of this issue. From the tiny urban forests in Tokyo and the star-rich skies of Flagstaff, to the meandering river of Munich and lions prowling through gardens in Nairobi, this is a globe-spanning look at how to bring nature into the places we live – and how to create the wild cities of the future.
In Wild Cities, Chris Fitch takes us on a journey through the latest advancements in architecture and planning, focusing on the integration of natural habitats into our urban landscapes. This non-fiction book is a must-read for those with an interest in ecotourism and community gardening, offering a unique perspective on how we can use land to create ecosystems within our cities.
For fans of Travis Elborough (The Writer's Journey), Robert Macfarlane (Is a River Alive?), Derek Thompson (Hit Makers), Ezra Klein (Why We're Polarized), and Caitlin Doughty (From Here to Eternity).

My Penguin Year - Life Among the...

Lindsay McCrae

An unprecedentedly intimate portrait of an emperor penguin colony in Antarctica, by a Bafta Award-winning BBC director of photography who observed these extraordinary birds for a year. This is the ultimate gift for any penguin or nature lover.

For 337 consecutive days, Lindsay McCrae followed 4,000 emperor penguins amid the singular beauty of Antarctica, chronicling their remarkable year-long journey of life, death, and birth. McCrae was there as the director of photography for the acclaimed BBC series Dynasties (narrated by Sir David Attenborough), for which he won a 2019 Bafta Award. Even in the depths of the Antarctic winter—the harshest environment on earth—McCrae witnessed the most intimate moments of these beloved animals as they sought survival with temperatures reaching 60 degrees below zero.
An unforgettable narrative account that is poised to become a classic of nature writing, My Penguin Year takes readers into the world of the emperor penguin as no book has before. Emperors are the world’s largest penguins, and they play the game of life on the highest difficulty level, breeding in pairs on sea ice during the Antarctic winter. After mating, the female penguin lays her egg, and then disappears, not to return for months. The male penguin will starve himself for more than 100 days, incubating the egg in his pouch, while the female heads off in search of food. Finally, the female returns, and, recognizing her original mate by the sound of his call, is reunited with the father and their newly-hatched chick.
Highlights:
A decision to save penguins’ lives. McCrae details the difficult decision to break documentary protocol and intervene to save a band of penguins who had become trapped in an icy ravine, sure to die without human intervention.
Becoming a new father while on the ice. While filming the lifecycle of the penguins, McCrae himself became a father. He did not see his son until the child was seven months old.
The emperors’ uncertain future. The emperors breed on frozen sea ice. As ocean temperatures rise, their rookeries are endangered—and so too is this extraordinary species. Indeed in April 2019, the New York Times reported that “The Antarctic’s second-largest colony of emperor penguins collapsed … with more than 10,000 chicks lost, and the population has not recovered.”
One year in the wild Antarctic. McCrae’s narrative is also wonderfully evokes an extraordinary natural place, from the rare vantage point of someone who has spent every season there.
Wonderfully compelling, filled with surprising depth, insight, and warmth, My Penguin Year is essential listening for animal lovers, amateur naturalists, and fans of true-life adventure tales as well as H is for Hawk and The Shepherd’s Life.

Borders - A Very Short...

Joshua Hagen, Alexander C. Diener

First published in 2012, Borders: A Very Short Introduction began with the premise that "we live in a very bordered world." The intervening decade has witnessed a flurry of events and developments that continue to highlight the centrality of borders in contemporary domestic and international affairs, as well as the interstices between the two, including sudden surges in migrant and refugees flows; renewed emphasis on traditional border security and wall construction; growing tensions concerning maritime sovereignty; rapid advances in cybersecurity, surveillance, and biometrics; expanded detention and deportation infrastructures; proliferation of transborder organizations; revived populist and nationalist sentiments; and protectionist and integrationist trade practices, to name some prominent examples from recent headlines. 
 
 
 
This revised edition accounts for recent developments including Brexit, the 2015 migration crisis across Europe, efforts to build a border wall between the United States and Mexico, growing isolationist and nativist sentiments, demands for indigenous homelands, transnational protest movements, Russian cross-border incursions, and insurgencies and rebellions across much of North Africa and Southwest Asia.
