The Handbook brings together an outstanding selection of chapters written by the world's top researchers in the field of neural mechanisms of memory. The resulting collection provides a vivid, integrated picture of current work on this fundamental aspect of cognitive neuroscience.--Fergus Craik, Rotman Research Institute, Toronto What happens when three young stars in the cognitive neuroscience of memory gather some of the best researchers of this field and ask them to write accessible and stimulating reviews of their favorite research topics? The result is a vivid portrayal of our discipline that works equally well as a textbook for graduate students, an update for professionals in related domains, and a source of inspiration for memory aficionados. The chapters provide superb summaries of all fundamental topics in the neuroscience of human memory, and at the same time, they cover novel methods and „hot“ research topics. In sum, this book is a must-read for everyone interested in how the brain gives rise to our amazing memory abilities.--Roberto Cabeza, Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience, Duke University This is a wonderful and timely Handbook. Befitting current ideas of memory, it provides a comprehensive and incisive review of a diverse literature while anticipating new empirical and theoretical developments. The editors and contributors are at the top of their game - almost all came of age as cognitive neuroscience hit its stride, are steeped in its literature and techniques, yet remain sensitive to the interplay between cognitive and neuroscientific data and theories that exemplifies the best approach in our field.--Morris Moscovitch, Professor of Psychology, University of Toronto
