All we know is that sensations received from the outside world imprint some sort of \u003ci\u003emolecular signatures\u003c\/i\u003e in neurons - or perhaps synapses - for future retrieval. What are these molecular signatures, and how are they made? How are thoughts generated and stored in neurons? \u003cb\u003eThe Biology of Thought\u003c\/b\u003e explores these issues and proposes a new molecular model that sheds light on the basis of human thought. Step-by-step it describes a new hypothesis for how thought is produced at the micro-level in the brain - right at the neuron.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDespite its many advances, the neurobiology field lacks a comprehensive explanation of the fundamental aspects of thought generation at the neuron level, and its relation to intelligence and memory. Derived from existing research in the field, this book attempts to lay biological foundations for this phenomenon through a novel mechanism termed the \"\u003ci\u003eMolecular-Grid Model\u003c\/i\u003e\" that may explain how biological electrochemical events occurring at the neuron interact to generate thoughts. The proposed molecular model is a testable hypothesis that hopes to change the way we understand critical brain function, and provides a starting point for major advances in this field that will be of interest to neuroscientists the world over.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Krishnagopal Dharani\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0128009004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780128009000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Academic Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/05\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/15\/2017","brand":"Krishnagopal Dharani","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48112838279423,"sku":"9780128009000","price":79.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_803cea81-967c-4e9e-bc78-432c813e0300.jpg?v=1769611282","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-biology-of-thought-krishnagopal-dharani-9780128009000","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
