An Illustrated History of Brain Function

With 161 illustrations and 11 color plates, this classic work is a chronological survey of attempts to localize brain function from antiquity to the present with detailed interpretive captions. This work is an invaluable guide both to the history of this aspect of the neurosciences and to many of the most dramatic pictorial sources in the history of neuroanatomy and neurophysiology from the ancient world to modern electronic imaging modalities. This new edition of Clarke and Dewhurst's definitive work is thoroughly revised and completely redesigned and reset. It contains a new preface by Edwin Clarke, a new chapter by Michael J. Aminoff surveying advances in imaging technology since 1972, and a new bibliography updating the neuroscientific literature.
