Emotion, Memory and Behavior

Studies on Human and Nonhuman Primates

By: Japan Scientific Soc,Ono Taketoshi,Tsuyoshi Nakajima

This book presents a complete account of the 18th International Taniguchi Symposium on Brain Sciences, held on the island of Hawaii, February 5-8, 1995. The first part of this comprehensive volume examines emotion, including the limbic system, animal models of autism, the neuronal mechanism of emotion and behavior, and a PET study on depression. The second section focuses on the brain mechanisms of memory and covers the hippocampal place code, long-term and short-term memory, and neuro-psychological studies on amnesic patients. The final part covers brain mechanisms of normal and abnormal behavior, visual processing within the temporal cortex, perception of geometric illusions, inhibition and facilitation of visual-motor links, self-mutilation, and a neuroanatomical study on cognitive aging. A neurochemical study on sleep and wakefulness is included. This reference will be useful in furthering not only basic neuroscience but also neuropsychiatry in years to come.

Mark Twain in Japan

The Cultural Reception of an American Icon

By: Tsuyoshi Ishihara

Best known for his sharp wit and his portrayals of life along the banks of the Mississippi River, Mark Twain is indeed an American icon, and many scholars have examined how he and his work are perceived in the United States. In Mark Twain in Japan, however, Tsuyoshi Ishihara explores how Twain's uniquely American work is viewed in a completely different culture. Mark Twain in Japan addresses three principal areas. First, the author considers Japanese translations of Twain's books, which have been overlooked by scholars but which have had a significant impact on the formation of the public image of Twain and his works in Japan. Second, he discusses the ways in which traditional and contemporary Japanese culture have transformed Twain's originals and shaped Japanese adaptations. Finally, he uses the example of Twain in Japan as a vehicle to delve into the complexity of American cultural influences on other countries, challenging the simplistic one-way model of "cultural imperialism." Ishihara builds on the recent work of other researchers who have examined such models of American cultural imperialism and found them wanting. The reality is that other countries sometimes show their autonomy by transforming, distorting, and rejecting aspects of American culture, and Ishihara explains how this is no less true in the case of Twain. Featuring a wealth of information on how the Japanese have regarded Twain over time, this book offers both a history lesson on Japanese-American relations and a thorough analysis of the "Japanization" of Mark Twain, as Ishihara adds his voice to the growing international chorus of scholars who emphasize the global localization of American culture. While the book will naturally be of interest to Twain scholars, it also will appeal to other groups, particularly those interested in popular culture, Japanese culture, juvenile literature, film, animation, and globalization of American culture.

Cellular Membrane

A Key to Disease Processes

By: S. Tsuyoshi Ohnishi,Tomoko Ohnishi

Cellular Membrane: A Key to Disease Processes focuses on cellular membranes as a key to unlocking important new information about the pathological processes of strokes, heart attacks, diabetes, cancer, and other major diseases. The clinical relevance of basic research is particularly emphasized. Topics include calcium ions and calcium channel blockers, membrane ion channels and diabetes, membrane perturbation by asbestos fibers and disease, membrane receptors and signal transduction in tumor cells, anti-HIV compounds with membrane oriented specificity, and neuroleptic malignant syndrome. Cellular Membrane: A Key to Disease Processes is filled with illustrations, schemes, exciting ideas, and provocative hypotheses that are bound to lead to the development of new pharmacological techniques. It will prove to be an excellent reference guide for cell biologists and pathologists.

Alliance in Anxiety

Detente and the Sino-American-Japanese Triangle

By: Go Tsuyoshi Ito

This book analyzes the structural dynamics of the Sino-American-Japanese triangular relationship by exploring how the 1971 Nixon-Kissinger announcement to pursue reapprochment with the People's Republic of China (PRC), in the context of the overal detente strategy, fundamentally altered the U.S.-Japanese relationship. It argues that the systematic structure of international relations in East Asia during the detente period was similar in significant ways to today's post-Cold War period. Highlighting the importance of China to U.S. policy options towards East Asia enables us to provide a more informed perspective on future directions of the Sino-U.S.-Japanese triangular relationship in the twenty-first century.

Central Nervous System Trauma

Research Techniques

By: S. Tsuyoshi Ohnishi,Tomoko Ohnishi

Central nervous system trauma, which encompasses stroke, subarachnoid hemorrhage, head injury, and spinal cord injury, is a leading cause of death in developed countries. In the search for underlying mechanisms, membrane involvement has been the common link. This fourth volume in the Membrane-Linked Diseases series is therefore dedicated to research on CNS trauma. Focusing on the mechanism of membrane damage, Central Nervous System Trauma: Research Techniques presents a variety of experimental techniques to study the mechanism of CNS trauma. Animal and tissue culture models provide the bulk of the research findings in this area. Possible pharmacological interventions are analyzed. This volume offers numerous illustrative examples, including full color figures. This book serves as a valuable resource for students and researchers, assisting in the comprehension of current trends in CNS trauma and helping to stimulate the discovery of new research areas.
