Reflecting the massive and ever-changing information in neuroscience, the second edition of this text bridges the gap between the peripheral and central systems. While retaining the basic outline of contents from the first edition, it continues to integrate structural organization with clinical disorders. Highlights of the new edition include the role of prefrontal cortex in behavior and attention, discussion of various forms of cortical dysfunctions, and current information on the auditory, vestibular, and gustatory systems.

Reflecting the massive and ever-changing information in neuroscience, the second edition of this text bridges the gap between the peripheral and central systems. While retaining the basic outline of contents from the first edition, it continues to integrate structural organization with clinical disorders. Highlights of the new edition include the role of prefrontal cortex in behavior and attention, discussion of various forms of cortical dysfunctions, and current information on the auditory, vestibular, and gustatory systems. The book also expands the coverage of the limbic system, exploring the structural components of the extrapyramidal system, and the neurochemical basis of movement disorders.
