The cognitive neuroscience of mind: a tribute to Michael S. Gazzaniga / edited. First Textbook. Cognitive Neuroscience: Biology of the Mind. Michael Gazzaniga. Richard Ivry. Cognitive Neuroscience Society. Editor-in-chief, as well as the four-volume series The Cognitive Neurosci.

Leaders in the cognitive neurosciences address a variety of topics in the field and reflect on Michael Gazzaniga's pioneering work and enduring influence.

These essays on a range of topics in the cognitive neurosciences report on the progress in the field over the twenty years of its existence and reflect the many groundbreaking scientific contributions and enduring influence of Michael Gazzaniga, 'the godfather of cognitive neuroscience'—founder of the Cognitive Neuroscience Society, founding editor of the Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, and editor of the major reference work, The Cognitive Neurosciences, now in its fourth edition (MIT Press, 2009). The essays, grouped into four sections named after four of Gazzaniga's books, combine science and memoir in varying proportions, and offer an authoritative survey of research in cognitive neuroscience. 'The Bisected Brain' examines hemispheric topics pioneered by Gazzaniga at the start of his career; 'The Integrated Mind' explores the theme of integration by domination; the wide-ranging essays in 'The Social Brain' address subjects from genes to neurons to social conversations and networks; the topics explored in 'Mind Matters' include evolutionary biology, methodology, and ethics.

To say I 'read' this book is somewhat untrue—or at least incomplete: I've scanned its more than 1,440 pages and read a fair amount of the chapters here included, but I know I've only scratched the surface of its depth and scope. This volume, covering various aspects of human cognition from a neurological approach (vs a more psychological one), was edited and produced by one editor—the adept Dr. Gazzaniga—but contains chapters/essays by various leading scientists in specific fields of expertise g...more

Michael Gazzaniga has edited a magisterial volume, 'The Cognitive Neurosciences III,' on the relationship between the human brain and cognition. This monumental 1300 page volume covers a large territory.
The table of contents lays out the ambitious agenda in its listing of sections in this book: evolution and development, plasticity, sensory systems, motor systems, attention, memory, language, higher cognitive functions, emotion and social neuroscience, consciousness, and directions for future r...more

There are 4 volumes, and I've just finished #3. What to say? A stunner of information. LeDoux takes on the chapter of articles/papers devoted to emotion. There's LTD/LTP, the gateway to learning and cognition (maybe). Syntax area found. Abstracts are clear.
(see esp. Sapolsky and Blakemore chapters)
Huge tome of white papers.
