There are many difficulties hindering western scientists from becoming acquainted with Russian scientific literature, including both political and language barriers. Russian science has a long and proud tradition going back as far as Peter the Great and the founding of the Russian Academy of Science in 1725. However, Russian neuroscientists from the 19th and 20th centuries are hardly recognised in the western world. Complex Brain Functions covers many avenues of contemporary research in Russian neuroscience. The chapters range from basic research at the cellular level to studies of higher brain functions in animals and humans, including psychopharmacology and neurochemistry and the brain basis of human mental functions as well as papers with a more philosophical content.

The workings of the brain, including the human brain are a source of endless fascination. In the last generation, experimental approaches to brain research have expanded massively, partly as a result of the development of powerful new techniques. However, the development of concepts which integrate and make sense of the wealth of available empirical data has lagged far behind the experimental investigation of the brain. This series of books entitled Conceptual Advances in Brain Research (CABR) is intended to provide a forum in which new and interesting conceptual advances can be presented to a wide readership in a coherent and lucid way.

The series will encompass all aspects of the sciences of brain and behaviour, including anatomy, physiology, biochemistry and pharmacology, together with psychological approaches to defining the function of the intact brain. In particular, the series will emphasise modern attempts to forge links between the biological and the psychological levels of describing brain function. It will explore new cybernetic interpretations of the structure of nervous tissue; and it will consider the dynamics of brain activity, integrated across wide areas of the brain and involving vast numbers of nerve cells. These are all subjects which are expanding rapidly at present. Subjects relating to the human nervous system as well as clinical topics related to neurological or psychiatric illnesses will also make important contributions to the series.

These volumes will be aimed at a wide readership within the neurosciences. However, brain research impinges on many other areas of knowledge. Therefore, some volumes may appeal to a readership, extending beyond the neurosciences. Books suitable for the series are monographs, edited multiauthor collections or books deriving from conferences, provided they have a clear underlying conceptual theme. In order to make these books widely accessible within the neurosciences and beyond, the style will emphasise broad scholarship comprehensible by readers in many fields, rather than descriptions in which technical detail of a particular speciality is dominant.

The next decades promise to provide major new revelations about brain function, with far-reaching impact on the way we view ourselves. These great breakthroughs will require a broad interchange of ideas across many fields.
