My second book due out in September is primarily 
for scientists and only secondarily for general readers, 
though I've aimed at a broad scientific audience 
(say, linguistics-to-AI-to-neurophysiology)
rather than just neuroscientists:
        THE CEREBRAL CODE:
        Thinking a Thought in the Mosaics of the Mind
will be out in September from MIT Press (vi+256pp, 
US$22.50), easily in time for the neuroscience meetings in DC.  

Chapter titles are: 
The Representation Problem and the Copying Solution,
Cloning in Cerebral Cortex,  Managing the Cerebral Commons,  
Resonating with your Chaotic Memories,
Partitioning the Playfield,  The Brownian Notion, 
Convergence Zones with a Hint of Sex, Chimes on the
Quarter Hour, The Making of Metaphor, and Thinking a 
Thought in the Mosaics of the Mind.  

The book's web page is at
        http://weber.u.washington.edu/~wcalvin/bk9.html
with links to a number of chapters and all the endnotes.  
The book has an amazing Mark Meyer painting on the cover,
which you can see at:

Sorry the two books got bunched up (HOW BRAINS THINK is also
due out in 9/96)-- but then one of the topics is 
entrainment via recurrent excitation!
