Description
Summary:This title takes a close look at what we can learn about our minds from how brain damage impairs our cognitive and emotional systems. This approach has a long and rich tradition dating back to the 19th century.

Behavioural neurology and neuropsychology offer critical insights into the neuronal implementation of large-scale cognitive and affective systems.
