"Every so often, a book or monograph comes along whose timing is impeccably linked to the blossoming and maturation of a research field; Diversity in the Neuronal Machine is one such book.this is a book with tremendous depth and critical thinking and in short it is a tremendously satisfyingread.I would urge anyone who feels that they have something to say about interneuron classification schemes to read it and carefully consider the arguments set forth."--Chris J.

Synopsis
This book is a colorful journey into the fascinatingly diverse world of interneurons, an important class of highly heterogeneous cells found in all cortical neuronal networks. Interneurons are known to play key roles in many brain functions, from sensory processing to neuronal oscillations linked to learning and memory. The central aim of the volume is to provide new insights into the striking degree of cellular diversity found in interneuronal microcircuits. Thebook discusses the history of research into interneuronal variability, the developmental origins of interneuronal diversity, the functional roles of heterogeneity in neuronal circuits, contemporaryinterneuronal classification systems, and the genetic and homeostatic mechanisms that shape the degree of cell to cell variability within interneuronal populations. It elaborates on new ideas about interneuronal diversity that rest upon theoretical and experimental results, with arguments touching upon evolution, animal behavior, and the mathematical theory of small world networks. This engaging volume is invaluable to neuroscientists and others interested in how neuronal newtworks function;electrical engineers, computational modelers, and physicists interested in neuronal network theory; neurologists and psychiatrists working on mechanisms of neurological and psychiatric disorders; andstudents and trainees in all of these fields., The central aim of the book is to provide new insights into the striking degree of cellular diversity found in the interneuronal microcircuits in the brain's neocortex and hippocampus.
