Tens of billions of nerve cells-tiny tree-like structures--make up a massive network with enormous computational power. In this book, Giorgio Ascoli reveals another aspect of the human brain: the stunning beauty of its cellular form. Doing so, he makes a provocative claim about the mind-brain relationship. If each nerve cell enlarged a thousandfold looks like a tree, then a small region of the nervous system at the same magnified scale resembles a gigantic, fantastic forest. This structural majesty--illustrated throughout the book with extraordinary color images--hides the secrets behind the genesis of our mental states. Ascoli proposes that some of the most intriguing mysteries of the mind can be solved using the basic architectural principles of the brain. After an overview of the scientific and philosophical foundations of his argument, Ascoli links mental states with patterns of electrical activity in nerve cells, presents an emerging minority opinion of how the brain learns from experience, and unveils a radically new hypothesis of the mechanism determining what is learned, what isn't, and why. Finally, considering these notions in the context of the cosmic diversity within and among brains, Ascoli offers a new perspective on the roots of individuality and humanity"--MIT CogNet.Neural circuitryNeural networks (Neurobiology)Neural transmissionMind and bodyBrainElectronic books.Neural circuitry.Neural networks (Neurobiology)Neural transmission.Mind and body.Brain.573.8/5Ascoli Giorgio A.990396MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910463404003321Trees of the brain, roots of the mind2265764UNINA02168oam 2200637 450 991070834360332120180328164133.0(CKB)3790000000047310(OCoLC)801943435(OCoLC)150694289(OCoLC)654247060(OCoLC)805945228(EXLCZ)99379000000004731020120726d1999 ua 0engurbn|||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierComplementary and alternative medicine in government-funded health programs hearing before the Committee on Government Reform, House of Representatives, One Hundred Sixth Congress, first session, February 24, 1999Washington :U.S. Government Printing Office,1999.1 online resource (iii, 173 pages)"Serial no. 106-4."Includes bibliographical references.Complementary and alternative medicine in government-funded health programs Alternative medicineUnited StatesMedical policyUnited StatesHealth insuranceUnited StatesFederal aid to medical researchUnited StatesAlternative medicineLaw and legislationfastHealth insurancefastMedical policyfastUnited StatesfastLegislative hearings.lcgftAlternative medicineMedical policyHealth insuranceFederal aid to medical researchAlternative medicineLaw and legislation.Health insurance.Medical policy.362.1/782OCLCEOCLCEOCLCONJRLLOCLCQOCLCAOCLCFOCLCQOCLCOOCLCACWCLLOCLGPOBOOK9910708343603321Complementary and alternative medicine in government-funded health programs3513740UNINA01396oas 2200397 450 991069802220332120180521145329.0(CKB)5470000002394784(OCoLC)1033692266(EXLCZ)99547000000239478420180503a20079999 ua engur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierFuel cell buses in U.S. transit fleets summary of experiences and current status ..Golden, Colo. :National Renewable Energy Laboratory,2007-1 online resource (volumes) color illustrationsNREL/TPIncludes bibliographical references.Fuel cell buses in U.S. transit fleets Fuel cellsResearchUnited StatesPeriodicalsBuses, ElectricTechnological innovationsUnited StatesPeriodicalsHydrogen as fuelResearchUnited StatesPeriodicalsFuel cellsResearchBuses, ElectricTechnological innovationsHydrogen as fuelResearchNational Renewable Energy Laboratory (U.S.),GPOGPOGPOJOURNAL9910698022203321Fuel cell buses in U.S. transit fleets3454360UNINA
