Overview: When Emil Kraepelin died (15. 02. 1856-07. 10. 1926), he left behind his memoirs, which were not published until today. Co-workers and col­ leagues from the last years of Kraepelin‘s life and his family knew that such an autobiography existed, but they were not sure whether these memoirs should be made public, so they remained unpublished. At a commemoration 50 years after Emil Kraepelin‘s death in Mu­ nich (1976) the descendants, who attended the festivities, agreed to the editors‘ suggestion to publish the "Memoirs". Through this publication we have been able to learn more about th

This led to the concept of "maturation phenomenon"with its main implication that the maturation ofischemiclesions may provide a "window of opportunity" i.e. a periodof time when the injury to neuronal elements is stillreversible, and during which an application of propertherapeutic measures might besuccessful.The symposium on Maturation Phenomenon in CerebralIschemiawas the first international meeting focussed prim

Overview: Literalität als Teilhabe an KulturDas Konzept des BuchesDer Alltag von Kindern und Jugendlichen, etwas davon zeigt die Episode mit Mc 2ra, ist ein guter Einstieg in das Thema Bildung, weil er Menschen in einem enorm wichtigen Bereich ihres Lebens und ihrer Wirklichkeit zeigt. Der Blick auf den Alltag verhindert auch, sich mit dem Gedanken der Bildung auf Kult- güter der guten alten Art als Maßstab zu verlassen und Medien als Unterh- tungsbanalität und damit als nicht bildungsförderlich abzutun. Dennoch ist eine Analyse alltäglicher Mediennutzung noch nicht hinreichend, um Anschluss a

Overview: Includes supplementary material: Arti?cial intelligence has attracted a renewed interest from distinguished sci- tists and has again raised new, more realistic this time, expectations for future advances regarding the development of theories, models and techniques and the use of them in applications pervading many areas of our daily life. The borders of human-level intelligence are still very far away and possibly unknown. Nev- theless, recent scienti?c work inspires us to work even harder in our exploration of the unknown lands of intelligence. This volume contains papers selected f
