Книга "The Primate Visual System" рассматривает последние достижения в изучении зрительной системы приматов с помощью методов записи, окрашивания, генетики и стимуляции в живых и в искусственных условиях. Авторы книги - известные нейробиологи данной области - представляют последние научные данные, исследуя структуру, функцию и эволюцию зрительной системы приматов. Книга основана на сравнительном подходе и изучает физиологические свойства зрения приматов и филогенетические отношения между зрительными системами различных видов приматов. Книга представляет уникальный подход к изучению зрительной системы приматов с точки зрения нейробиологов и может служить основой для дальнейших исследований зрительной системы человека. "The Primate Visual System" является важным обзором структуры, функции и эволюции зрительной системы приматов, предназначенным для студентов бакалавриата и магистратуры, изучающих нейронауку, физиологию, оптику/визуализацию, а также для исследователей, только начинающих работу в данной области.
This book should be on your bookshelf if you are a visual or neurobiological researcher, as it is dedicated to comprehensively describing the developmental and functional aspects of the nonhuman primate and human vision systems. It is edited particularly for advanced students in neurobiology, biophysics, its structures, genetics, and development as well, covering the basics of optics, physical and neural, that provide methods for the studies on vision.
The book presents the results of previous research and indicates the direction of future research work in different branches of science – neurobiology, physiology and optics. Material used as facts for construction of the book was summarized within the contents of special scientific reviews of 1988-2010 as well supplemented by meeting reports of 7th International Conference of Primatologists and others held in 2005 and 2011, followed by scientific news published in "Primatology" journal .The book begins with an introduction and includes three empiric chapters covering the evolution of primate eyes and optic nerve, existing models for explanation of the early mechanisms of vision development and methods of investigation of cortex photosensitivity. Also it includes a chapter entitled "Dynamics of cortical reparatory processes", describing a certain branch of neurobiology issues which actualized due to novelty and innovaiveness of approaches and equipment for examining cerebral cortex columns. The final chapter gives the outlook fitfully open for future neuroscience conceptual breakthroughs as well gives some recommendations about the directions of researches on human brain.

Описание книги от Jan Kremers
Many recent developments in the field in recording, staining, genetic and stimulation techniques, in vivo, and in vitro have significantly increased the amount of available data on the primate visual system. Written with contributions from key neurobiologists in the field, The Primate Visual System will provide the reader with the latest developments, examining the structure, function and evolution of the primate visual system. The book takes a comparative approach as a basis for studying the physiological properties of primate vision and examines the phylogenetic relationship between the visual systems of different primate species. Taken from a neurobiologist’s perspective this book provides a unique approach to the study of primate vision as a basis for further study into the human visual system. Altogether an important overview of the structure, function and evolution of the primate visual system from a neurobiologist’s perspective, written specifically for higher level undergraduate and graduate students taking courses in neuroscience, physiology, optics/ visual science, as well as a valuable read to researchers new to the field.
