Cerebellum and Cerebrum in Homeostatic Control and Cognition

<p>Cerebellum and Cerebrum in Homeostatic Control and Cognition presents a ground-breaking hybrid-brain psychology proposing that the cerebellum and cerebrum operate in a complementary manner as equal cognitive partners in learning based control. </p><p>The book synthesises contemporary neuroscience and psychology in terms of their common underlying control principle homeostasis. Drawing on research and theory from neuroscience psychology AI and robotics it provides a hybrid control systems interpretation of consciousness and self; unconscious mind; REM dream sleep; emotion; self-monitoring and self-control; memory infantile amnesia; and cognitive development. This is used to investigate different elements of cerebellum-cerebrum offline interaction; including attention and working memory and explores cerebellar and cerebral contributions to various aspects of a number of disorders; including ADHD ASD and schizophrenia. </p><p>Presenting original ideas around neuropsychological architecture the book will be of great interest to academics researchers and post-graduate students in the fields of neuropsychology cognitive psychology neuroscience and clinical psychology.</p>
