Academic Press l PDF l 3289 Pages l 78 MB


Book Description :

Academic Press's Encyclopedia of the Human Brain is a timely project with a subject matter of universal interest. In the past decade, enormous strides have been made in understanding the human brain. The advent of sophisticated new imaging techniques and new behavioural testing procedures have revolutionised our understanding of the brain. We know more about the anatomy, functions, and development of this organ than ever before.

However, much of this current knowledge is dispersed across various scientific journals and books in a diverse group of specialities: psychology, neuroscience, medicine, and so on. The Encyclopedia of the Human Brain places all information in a single source and contains clearly written summaries of what is known. With focus on a broad-based audience, this work is written on a level accessible to everyone from the educated layperson to the academic researcher.

The book includes approximately 225 articles. (Click here to view a list of article topics.) Coverage includes neuroimaging, neurology, and neuropsychology in discussing anatomy, physiology, and behaviour.
