This major new publication stands as the first up-to-date, cutting-edge,
comprehensive reference work combining volumes on all major sensory
modalities in one set. Under the guidance of a distinguished team
of international experts, these 6 volumes contain 234 articles
from renowned scientists laying out our current knowledge on the
anatomy, physiology, and molecular biology of sensory organs. Topics
covered include the perception, psychophysics, and higher order
processing of sensory information, as well as disorders and new
diagnostic and treatment methods.
Written for a wide audience, this reference work provides students,
scholars, medical doctors, and anyone interested in neuroscience
a comprehensive overview of the knowledge accumulated on the function
of sense organs, sensory systems, and how the brain processes sensory
input. Leading scholars from around the world contributed articles,
making The Senses a truly international portrait
of sensory physiology.
The set is the definitive reference on sensory neuroscience on
the market, and will provide the ultimate entry point into the
review and original literature in Sensory Neuroscience, and be
a natural place for interested students and scientists to deepen
their knowledge.
