Preface
This book is both a tribute to the pioneering research on the neurobiology of learning and memory carried out by Raymond P. Kesner and a summary of much of the current thinking about the nature and organization of memory systems in the brain. The book was a direct outgrowth from a Festschrift held in Ray Kesner’s honor on January 2nd and 3rd, 2013 in Salt Lake City, Utah. The speakers and attendees at that event included numerous colleagues and collaborators, as well as many of the students and postdoctoral researchers who have worked and interacted with Ray over more than 40 years of his career (see photograph of conference participants below). There are 18 chapters, including a summary of the “Attribute Model of Memory” by Ray Kesner, a personal account of his life and career, a chapter with letters and comments about Ray and his work from many of the major researchers in the field of memory and learning, and an epilogue. The book is organized into fo
