It discusses the limbic system (the cortical and subcortical structures in the human brain involved in emotion, motivation, and emotional association with memory) at length and how this is no longer a useful guide to the study of psychiatric disorders. The book provides an understanding of brain anatomy, with an emphasis on the new anatomical framework which has emerged during the last quarter century. The goal is to provide the reader will develop an understanding of the gross anatomical organisation of the human forebrain. 1) The book provides an understanding of brain anatomy, with an emphasis on the new anatomical framework which has emerged during the last quarter century 2) The reader will develop an understanding of the gross anatomical organisation of the human forebrain 3) The origin and meaning of terms such as ventral stiatum, ventral pallidum and cortico-subcorticalreentrant circuits, which are increasingly familiar terms in basic and clinical neuroscience, are discussed 4) The extended amygdala and its place in the functional-anatomical organisation of the brain, is discussed 5) The greater limbic lobe and its particular relevance in neuropsyciatric disorders, is presented 6) The role of functional neurosurgery in the treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders is presented 7) The challenges that lie ahead in the field of deep brain stimulation are discussed 8) The book included 2 dvd's of brain dissection, particularly useful for the course instructor |
