About this title

Book Description

This book is an introduction to neuroanatomy from a behavioural perspective. Now in its third edition, this highly successful text has been extensively revised to include new areas of fMRI research. This is essential reading for psychiatrists, neuropsychiatrists, neurologists, psychologists and neuroscientists.

From the Back Cover

This book, developed by a neuroanatomist and a psychiatrist, is the first anatomy text to acknowledge the growing acceptance of an inextricable link between the "organic" and behavioral dimensions of medicine. In spite of the explosion of information associated with the new neuropsychiatry, spurred by advances in brain imaging, brain "mapping" and research in neurochemistry, there is no textbook of neuroanatomy that embraces this new approach to psychiatric disorders. Behavioral Neuroanatomy will serve as a short course or review on the structure and function of the central nervous system and its clinical relevance to diagnosing and managing mental illness.
