This Special Collection:

In Science's SAGE KE
Science Magazine and its online Knowledge Environments explore the fruits of interdisciplinary cross-fertilization among psychology, neurobiology, economics, linguistics, and other fields, in a special collection on higher brain functions published with the 15 October 2004 issue. In Science, Review and Viewpoint articles cover cognitive memory, neuroeconomics, the relationship between language and thought, and the role of the posterior medial frontal cortex in cognitive control, while a News story looks at the field of neuroethology. Science's Signal Transduction Knowledge Environment presents articles and an animation related to the signaling pathways that govern learning, memory, and behavior. And the Science of Aging Knowledge Environment looks at possible connections among behavior, personality, and aging in both humans and monkeys.
