Learning and memory have traditionally held a central place in psychology and, during the past several decades, have also become very important—a preoccupation, some would say—for neurobiology. Squire ...

There is debate about when white matter was first identified and named. Now known as glia, which Koob (2009) points out is the Greek word for glue, some research indicates that Rudolf Virchow, a ...
