    <![CDATA[In 1996 Joseph LeDoux's <em>The Emotional Brain</em> presented a revelatory examination of the biological bases of our emotions and memories. Now, the world-renowned expert on the brain has produced with a groundbreaking work that tells a more profound story: how the little spaces between the neurons-the brain's synapses--are the channels through which we think, act, imagine, feel, and remember. Synapses encode the essence of personality, enabling each of us to function as a distinctive, integrated individual from moment to moment. Exploring the functioning of memory, the synaptic basis of mental illness and drug addiction, and the mechanism of self-awareness, <em>Synaptic Self</em> is a provocative and mind-expanding work that is destined to become a classic. ]]>

    <![CDATA[Joseph LeDoux, a professor at the Center for Neural Science at New York University, has written the most comprehensive examination to date of how systems in the brain work in response to emotions, particularly fear.  Among his fascinating findings is the work of amygdala structure within the brain. The amygdala mediates fear and other responses and actually processes information more quickly than other parts of the brain, allowing a rapid response that can save our lives before other parts of the brain have had a chance to react. He also offers findings and theories on how the brain handles--and in many cases, buries--extremely traumatic experiences. In all, a compelling read about the mysteries of emotions and the workings of the brain.]]>

    <![CDATA[<p>In Gene Therapy Protocols, Volumes 1 &amp; 2, internationally recognized investigators describe cutting-edge laboratory techniques for the study of Production and In Vivo Applications of Gene Transfer Vectors (Volume 1) and Design and Characterization of Gene Transfer Vectors (Volume 2). The field of gene therapy has undergone remarkable advances, promising to impact human healthcare significantly in the twenty-first century. Todays technologies can deliver genetic material safely and effectively to cells to slow or halt the progression of disease, and to help repair or regenerate damaged or lost tissues. In this first volume of Gene Therapy Protocols: Production and In Vivo Applications of Gene Transfer Vectors, readers will find a comprehensive resource of current and emerging methods for the production of viral and non-viral gene transfer vectors, as well as detailed protocols for critical applications in stem cell biology, cancer, diabetes, HIV and tissue engineering. This first volume of the new and completely revised third edition of Gene Therapy Protocols will prove a necessary tool for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows and invaluable to basic and clinical researchers in both industry and academia. </p>]]>

    <![CDATA[&#147;Wir sind unsere Synapsen.&#148; So fasst der Autor gleich zu Beginn die Quintessenz seines Buches zusammen. Das erscheint später - auch seinen eigenen Ausführungen zufolge - dann doch etwas zu einfach. Aber im Wesentlichen ist genau das die These von Ledoux: Unsere Synapsen bestimmen zu einem entscheidenden Teil, wer wir sind. <p> Was ist das Selbst, was ist eine Person, was ist die Persönlichkeit? Um zunächst diese Begriffe zu klären, sieht sich der Autor in Philosophie, Psychologie und Religion um. Er vermittelt einen detaillierten Einblick in Menschenbilder und Vorstellungen über Selbst und Persönlichkeit aus der Sicht verschiedener Zeiten, Wissenschaften und Perspektiven. Ebenso gründlich geht er weiter vor, wenn er die Erkenntnisse der modernen Hirnforschung darstellt und nachvollziehbar macht. Wie funktionieren Synapsen überhaupt? Was hat es mit unserem Gedächtnis auf sich, und wie lernen wir? Wie sehen die Hirnmechanismen unserer Emotionen aus? Welche Erkenntnisse lassen sich aus psychischen Störungen ableiten? <p> Wer wir sind, das ist nicht nur genetisch vorgegeben. Denn die Erfahrungen, die wir in der Welt machen, bestimmen, wie unsere genetische Ausstattung sich entfaltet. Dieser heute weit verbreiteten Ansicht schließt sich auch Ledoux an. Um am Ende aber ganz deutlich seine umstrittene These zu wiederholen: &#147;Wer sind Sie? Sie sind Ihre Synapsen. Aus ihnen besteht Ihr Selbst.&#148; Ein Buch voller Informationen, aber auch mit jeder Menge Zündstoff für Diskussionen. <em>-- Gabi Neumayer</em></p></p>]]>
