The use of models has been important to the historical and contemporary study of the human brain, yet very little study by social scientists has been dedicated to how the brain sciences develop and use models to better understand what brains are and how they work, including the complex entanglements between brains, bodies and their environments. Vital Models: The Making and Use of Models in the Brain Sciences explores the history and use of brain models from clinical psychiatry to psychopharmacology and cybernetics, as well as developments in digital brain modeling, simulation, imaging and connectomics.
This timely volume helps both scientists and students better understand the variety, strengths, weaknesses and applicability of models in neuroscience.
- Presents a timely update on the topic of brain research and modeling techniques
- Contains sections from true authorities in the field
