		Fernando Dangond, HMS assistant professor of neurology, and 26 contributing authors draw on the recent advances in research in the fields of molecular biology, pathophysiology, and biochemistry to further investigate the disorders of myelin in the human central and peripheral nervous systems.
		Bevil Conway, HMS research fellow in neurobiology, has successfully used computer averaging and cone-isolation techniques to demonstrate the antagonistic interactions of the three classes of cones, L, M, and S, popularly known as red, green, and blue, which mediate color perception.
		The book includes a summary of the history of color research and a clear discussion of the spatial and temporal structure of cone cells in the primary visual cortex of macaque monkeys, a model for human color vision because their performance of visual tasks is almost identical to that of human cone cells.
