How should neuroscience psychology and behavioral genetics impact legal responsibility practicesRecent findings from these fields are sometimes claimed to threaten the moral foundations of legal responsibility practices by revealing that determinism or something like it is true On this account legal responsibility practices should be abolished because there is no room for such outmodedfictions as responsibility in an enlightened and scientificallyinformed approach to the regulation of societyHowever the chapters in this volume reject this claim and its related agenda of radical legal reform Embracing instead a broadly compatibilist approach one according to which responsibility hinges on psychological features of agents not on metaphysical features of the universe this volumesauthors demonstrate that the behavioral and mind sciences may impact legal responsibility practices in a range of different ways for instance by providing fresh insight into the nature of normal and pathological human agency by offering updated medical and legal criteria for forensicpractitioners as well as powerful new diagnostic and intervention tools and techniques with which to appraise and to alter minds and by raising novel regulatory challengesScience and law have been locked in a philosophical dialogue on the nature of human agency ever since the 13th century when a mental element was added to the criteria for legal responsibility The rich story told by the 14 essays in this volume testifies that far from ending this philosophicaldialogue neuroscience psychology and behavioral genetics have the potential to further enrich and extend this dialogue.

This text introduces the basic mathematical and computational methods of theoretical neuroscience and presents applications in a variety of areas including vision, sensory-motor integration, development, learning, and memory.The book is divided into three parts. Part I discusses the relationship between sensory stimuli and neural responses, focusing on the representation of information by the spiking activity of neurons. Part II discusses the modeling of neurons and neural circuits on the basis of cellular and synaptic biophysics. Part III analyzes the role of plasticity in development and learning. An appendix covers the mathematical methods used, and exercises are available on the book\'s Web site. WHAT IS THE MAJOR IN NEUROSCIENCE LIKE?. The major in Neuroscience includes courses in .
