Y1 - 2021 N1 - T2 - Principles of Neural Science, 6e AB - THE REMARKABLE RANGE OF HUMAN behavior depends on a sophisticated array of sensory receptors connected to the brain, a highly flexible neural organ that selects from among the stream of sensory signals those events in the environment and in the internal milieu of the body that are important for the individual. The brain actively organizes sensory information for perception, action, decision-making, aesthetic appreciation, and future reference—that is to say, memory. It also ignores and discards information judiciously, one hopes, and reports to other brains about some of these operations and their psychological manifestations. All this is accomplished by interconnected nerve cells. SN - PB - McGraw Hill CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/10/09 UR - accessbiomedicalscience.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1180639532 ER -
