Progress in Physiological Psychology, Volume 3 reviews major advances in the field of physiological psychology and includes neurological and physiological treatments of sleep, information storage, and hibernation. The mechanisms underlying sensorimotor integration during sleep are highlighted, along with central nervous control over the physiological regulation of hibernation. This volume is comprised of four chapters and begins with a discussion on changes in sensory and motor physiology that occur during sleep, with emphasis on postural reflexes and motor activity as well as transmission of somatic sensory volleys through spinal reflex pathways. It then looks at the role of neuronal membranes in the storage of information in the central nervous system, along with hibernation and its relationship to neurological mechanisms involved in temperature regulation and motivation. The final chapter focuses on the effects of removing striate cortex on residual vision in monkeys. This monograph will be of interest to neurophysiologists and psychologists.

Progress in Physiological Psychology, Volume 2 is a five-chapter text that covers the advances both in experimental and theoretical studies on physiological psychology. Chapter 1 deals with the application of recording of cortical steady potentials (DC potentials) to problems of motivation and learning, reflecting electrical changes correlated with these aspects of behavior and suggesting that steady potential shift may be a neurophysiological manifestation of Hull's behavioral concept of reaction potential. Chapter 2 provides an overview of the neurological mechanisms at work in learning and memory, especially the electrophysiological and neurochemical processes. Chapter 3 considers first the general properties of populations and communities of plants and animals, followed by a discussion on the influence of population pressures on various stages of reproductive function. This chapter also surveys the various theories concerned with the integration of mechanisms that regulate population growth and the natural selection of these mechanisms. Chapter 4 discusses the social interactions and population pressures, which act through the neuroendocrine systems to produce the degenerative changes that characterize arteriosclerosis, pancreatitis, cancer, and other diseases so prominent in civilized man. Chapter 5 describes the maternal and mating behavior showing the important role of limbic structures in positive as well as in negative motivated behavior. This book is directed toward neurophysiologists, psychologists, and researchers.
