Limbic and subcortical brain regions mediate fundamental functions such as memory, emotion, motivation and mood. Limbic and subcortical systems also play a key neurobiological role in other important aspects of human experience, such as substance abuse, reward systems, and religious experience. Most neuropsychiatric disorders involve dysfunction of subcortical structures or the limbic or paralimbic cortex. Dysfunction of temporolimbic systems produces some of the most dramatic and challenging syndromes in clinical medicine. A contribution to the literature on limbic-subcortical systems and neuropsychiatric illness, this text presents and overview of functional limbic anatomy and provides a report on limbic-related syndromes. Part One covers the functional neuroanatomy of limbic and subcortical systems. This emphasis on neuroanatomy provides a foundation for Part Two, which focuses on the limbic system and clinical neuropsychiatric syndromes. Throughout this volume, extensive literature reviews serve as comprehensive reference sources. Many chapters include colour illustrations to depict key points.

Cartoné BB. Etat : New. Etat de la jaquette : Nuevo. 1. A valuable contribution to the literature on limbic-subcortical systems and neuropsychiatric illness, The\nNeuropsychiatry of Limbic and Subcortical Disorders presents an overview of functional limbic anatomy and provides\na state-of-the-art report on limbic-related syndromes. Part One covers the functional neuroanatomy of limbic and\nsubcortical systems. This emphasis on heuroanatomy provides a foundation for Part Two, which focuses on the\nlimbic system and clinical neuropsychiatric syndromes. The contributors are a diverse group of leading investiga-\ntors with special expertise in the functional aspects of limbic and subcortical anatomy and its relationship to\n\nneuropsychiatric illness.\n\ndl\n\ná n the 19505 MacLean postulated that the limbic system mediated emotions; it is most exciting to see flesh\nand data now clothe this hypothesis. This volume should be read by everyone interested in brain-behavior\nrelationships. Not only is it instructive about the neuroanatomy of the limbic system but itis full of useful clinical .\ndescriptions and correlation of structure and functión that the clinician will find most practical and useful. This\nvolume is a testament to'the progress of the field of neuropsychiatry; it well fulfills the promise of the Decade of\nthe Brain."\n\nGary J. Tucker, M.D. ,\nProfessor and Chairman + .\nDepartment of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences :\nUniversity of Washington ea:\nSeattle, Washington sa\n\n5\n\ndl\n\nBus ganglia have been called the crossroads of neurology and Psychiatry. If that is true, the limbic\nsystem and the paralimbic subcortical structures are the Grand Central Station of neuropsychiatry. This text,\nbased on a special issue of the Journal of Neuropsychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences, strikes the perfect balance\nbetween an understanding of brain structure and an appreciation of the clinical disorders associated with limbic\ndysfunction. The book is authored by some of the world's leading investigators in the anatomy and clinical\ndisorders involving limbic and paralimbic structures. Those who deal with patients having neuropsychiatric\ndisorders or those investigating the substrates of these disorders will find this book an essential resource for their\nunderstanding of the clinical anatomical associations which'must be appreciated to understand these disorders."\n\nRobert G.
