Title: Neurobehavioral Anatomy
Description: In Neurobehavioral Anatomy, Christopher M. Filley provides a timely introduction to the organization of human behavior within the structure of the human brain. Writing from the viewpoint of behavioral neurology, the author draws upon a wealth of neurobehavioral knowledge to outline how cognitive and emotional functions are represented in the brain to produce the many behaviors regarded as uniquely human.

The effects of focal and diffuse brain lesions are reviewed, and from this analysis emerges a conception of the normal operations of the brain in health.

This relatively compact volume, intended more as introductory than comprehensive, will prove useful to those who care for individuals afflicted with brain disorders disrupting normal behavior, to researchers, and to anyone intrigued with the neuroanatomic basis of singularly human capacities. Clinically practical and theoretically stimulating, this book demonstrates that the understanding of the mind must consider the anatomy of the brain.
