Chapter 1: What is the revolutionary conception of the cerebellum-driven working memory and language of Homo sapiens? -- Chapter 2: How, exactly, did this revolutionary concept of the human mind come about? -- Chapter 3: What, exactly, is prominent role of the cerebellum in everyday learning and thinking? -- Chapter 4:How did and how does the cerebellum prominently contribute to the development of the mind of both ancient and modern peoples? -- Chapter 5: Without the contribution of the cerebellum, we could not be creative—the cerebellar origin of sudden insight (the a-ha! phenomenon) in working memory -- Chapter 6: Without the contribution of the cerebellum, we would not have mathematics. -- Einstein was smart, but his cerebellum actually guided his super superior thinking -- Chapter 7: How can people play a



complex piano piece (in the cerebellum) and carry on an equally complex conversation at the same time? -- Chapter 8: The crucial role of the cerebellum in the development of the signature moves of sports heroes -- Chapter 9: How does the cerebellum make play more skillful, improve personality and make one more creative? -- Chapter 10: What crucial role does the cerebellum play in mental disorders?.

Sommario/riassunto

Historically researchers of neuroscience and psychology have believed that the cerebral cortex produces the unique mental capacities of human beings. However, a prevalence of brain-imaging evidence now shows that the cerebral cortex, while the seat of our everyday experience (notably in working memory), is not predominant in actually formulating our amazing capabilities. Rather, the achievements that mark humans as “Homo sapiens” originate in the cerebellum which increased three- to fourfold in size and acquired massive cognitive and social optimization capabilities over the last million years. Thus, through its optimization of experience and skill of the cerebral cortex, it was the cerebellum that was and is predominant in producing culture, language, mathematics, creativity, and extreme levels of skill in all areas from sports to computer science and art. These optimizing functions of the cerebellum are shown in the cases of Albert Einstein, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Maryam Mirzakhani, and the predictive powers of Stonehenge. This book fills a critical role in bringing courses up-to-date with the profound, basic changes this newly understood predominant role of the cerebellum provides for understanding the mechanisms related to all topics in psychology and neuroscience. It is critical that this “new revolution in psychology and the neurosciences” be introduced and reviewed in courses that are part of both undergraduate and graduate studies in psychology and neuroscience. This text might also be of use to courses in anthropology and cross-disciplinary studies as the cerebellum was critically involved in the evolution of cognitive and social behaviour.

Sommario/riassunto

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 23rd European Symposium on Programming, ESOP 2014, which took place in Grenoble, France, in April 2014, as part of the European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software, ETAPS 2014. The 27 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 109 submissions. In addition, the book contains two invited talks. The contributions are organized in topical sections named: type systems; verified compilation; program verification; semantics; concurrency; linear types; network and process calculi; and program analysis.
