Pfaff argues that, beneath our mental functions and emotional dispositions, a primitive neuronal system governs arousal. Employing the simple but powerful framework of information theory, Pfaff revolutionizes our understanding of arousal systems in the brain.}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.4159/9780674042100}, recid = {1478655}, pages = {1 online resource (217 p.)}, }
