Mark A. Gluck
Mark A. Gluck is a Professor of Neuroscience and Public Health at Rutgers University–Newark and Director of the Rutgers Aging and Brain Health Alliance. His research focuses on the cognitive, computational, and neural bases of learning and memory; on the consequences of memory loss due to aging, post-traumatic stress disorder, and Alzheimer’s disease; and on how sleep and exercise can improve cognition and brain health. His international collaborations have included research in England, Hungary, China, Turkey, Israel, Egypt, and the Palestinian West Bank.
Locally, he is active in community-engaged research in and around Newark, New Jersey, where he partners with local churches, senior centers, and federally subsidized low-income housing to promote brain health and Alzheimer’s disease awareness among older African Americans. Gluck is co-author, with Catherine E. Myers, of Gateway to Memory: An Introduction to Neural Network Modeling of the Hippocampus and Learning (MIT Press, 2001), is co-editor of three other books, and has published more than 130 peer-reviewed journal articles. In 1996, he was awarded an NSF Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers by President Bill Clinton and also received the American Psychological Association (APA) Distinguished Scientific Award for Early Career Contribution to Psychology. His research has been funded by the National Science Foundation, the Office of Naval Research, the Defense Advanced Projects Research Administration, and multiple divisions of the National Institutes of Health, including the National Institute on Aging, the National Institute of Mental Health, and the National Institute for Neurological Diseases and Strokes.

Eduardo Mercado
Eduardo Mercado is an Assistant Professor of Psychology at University at Buffalo, The State University of New York. His research focuses on how different brain systems interact to develop representations of experienced events, and how these representations change over time. Dr. Mercado currently uses techniques from experimental psychology, computational neuroscience, electrical engineering, and behavioral neuroscience to explore questions about auditory learning and memory in rodents, cetaceans, and humans.

Catherine E. Myers
Catherine E. Myers is a Professor in the Department of Pharmacology, Physiology, and Neuroscience at the New Jersey Medical School, Rutgers University, as well as a Research Scientist with the Department of Veterans Affairs, New Jersey Health Care System. Her research includes computational neuroscience and experimental psychology, focusing on human learning and memory and how these abilities can be disrupted in conditions such as amnesia, Alzheimer’s disease, opioid use disorder, and posttraumatic stress disorder. She has published more than 130 peer-reviewed journal articles and is co-author (with Mark Gluck) of Gateway to Memory: An Introduction to Neural Network Modeling of the Hippocampus and Learning (MIT Press, 2001), as well as author of Delay Learning in Artificial Neural Networks (Chapman and Hall, 1992). Her research has been funded by the National Institutes of Health (National Institute of Mental Health, National Institute on Aging, and National Institute of Alcoholism and Alcohol Abuse), the Department of Veterans Affairs, and the National Science Foundation via the NSF/NIH Collaborative Research in Computational Neuroscience (CRCNS) program.

Product Updates
Learning and Memory 4th edition has been thoroughly revised to feature the most updated research, include timely examples relevant to students lives. New coverage includes:
- New discussion of technologies for personal monitoring, such as use of electrodermal activity for measuring habituation and sensitization (Chapter 3).
- New discussion of the newly defined Internet gaming disorder (Chapter 5).
- New coverage of developments in functional neuroimaging, including high-resolution fMRI studies to show how "memory" patterns are encoded in the cortex (Chapter 7), and new information on how techniques of optogenetics are helping tease apart cause and effect in the brain substrates of emotional learning and memory (Chapter 10).
- Updated coverage of the ongoing debates about the role of the hippocampus in semantic memory (Chapter 7) and about adult neurogenesis in humans (Chapter 12).
- New material on how sleep disruption may contribute to memory decline in aging (Chapter 12).
- Expanded discussion of behavioral economics, including new material on delayed discounting, self-control, and altruism (Chapter 5).
- Added discussion of theories of memory consolidation (Chapter 7).
- Expanded discussion of learning sets (Chapter 8).
- Added material on the "tend-and-befriend" concept in the coverage of "fight-orflight" responses (Chapter 10).
- New discussion of classic taste aversion conditioning as a means of helping patients tolerate the side effects of chemotherapy (Chapter 4).
- New material on the importance of variability in training (Chapter 6) and on the claim that 10,000 hours of deliberate practice is necessary to become an expert.
(Chapter 8).
- A new box on using insights from memory research to optimize study habits (Chapter 7).
- New discussion of the role of sleep and of the possibility of using targeted memory reactivation during sleep to enhance memory (Chapter 7).
- New material on how environmental enrichment affects development (Chapter 12).
