This is a book about cognition, emotion, memory, and learning. Along the way it examines exactly how implicit memory ('knowing how') and explicit memory ('knowing that') are connected with each other via the cerebellum. Since emotion is also related to memory, and most likely, one of its organising features, many fields of human endeavour have attempted to clarify its fundamental nature, including its relationship to metaphor, problem-solving, learning, and many other variables. This is an attempt to pull together the various strands relating to emotions, so that clinicians and researchers alike can identify precisely, and ultimately agree, upon what emotion is and how it contributes to the other known activities of mind and brain.

Product Description
Review
More than a backup system for brain programs, the cerebellum creates shadow models of other parts of the brain, opening possibilities of its managing the interweaving of explicit and implicit memory, parsing the domains and structures of Freud's topographic and structural systems, and deciding to bring limbic emotion towards action meaning. An introductory critique of the neuropsychoanalytic movement thus far progresses in the patient and stately exposition of a master bridge builder. --David V. Forrest, MD, Clinical Professor of Psychiatry, Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons
As one of the pioneers of neuro-psychoanalysis, Fred Levin shows the immense importance of this new perspective in elucidating the special integrative role of the cerebellum. In its enterprise, neuroscience has mainly focused on higher cortical functions. It is time to correct the 150-year bias, and Levin does it splendidly, taking into account cognition, emotion, memory, learning and action in relation to the 'psychodynamics of the cerebellum'. He also encourages his readers to proceed in the exploration of knowledge, anticipating surprises in further research. --Professor Juhani Ihanus, PhD
By focusing upon the cerebellum, Levin has connected psychoanalytic perspectives, such as the Freudian unconscious, and neuroscientific perspectives on conscious and non-conscious neural networking. Attention is given to both explicit and implicit memory systems, and the need for their integration as well. And credit is properly given to Ito Masao for his brilliant appreciation and elaborations of how the cerebellum becomes for each of us a decisive part of our emotions, our adaptive learning, and our very self. --Professor Hans-Dieter Klein, Austrian Academy of Sciences
