Lleva firma del anterior propietario.\nThe frontal lobes have long fascinated those interested in human behavior, but their vast size and variety of critical social functions have rendered productive investigation impracticaluntil recently, as scientific advances continue to give investigators new tools and new optimism.\n\nThis exciting volume brings together the latest work of 26 recognized experts in clinical neuropsychiatry, neuropsychology, neuroscience, and neuroimaging. Part | introduces frontal lobe dysfunction, arguing that our aging population, with its decline in executive cognitive abilities, mandates corresponding eligibility and\ntreatment changes in public and private health disability policies. Part 2 delineates the anatomy and neurochemistry of the extended frontal systems underlying neuropsychiatric illnesses such as obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and schizophrenia, details the role of the prefrontal cortex in consciousness and self-awareness, and offers a tantalizing theory on the lateralization of prefrontal cognitive functions. Part 3 focuses on clinical practice, identifying three prefrontal syndromes for further study and including practical clinical assessment techniques\nand diagnosis and treatment strategies. Part 4 covers the role of the frontal lobes in major neuropsychiatric ¡llnesses such as depression and schizophrenia, describes the neuropsychological and neuropsychiatric sequelae of closed head injury, summarizes the neurological substrates of content-specific delusions, and concludes with a report on the stereotactic neurosurgical treatment of refractory OCD. \nThis remarkable work is intended for psychiatrists, neurologists, psychologists, basic and clinical neuroscientists, and trainees from each of these disciplines, who will welcome it as a valuable tool in understanding the complexities of what was once considered the terra incognita of the brain.\n 1000 gr.

Hardback. Etat : Good. 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.…
