Unlock the Secrets of Neuropsychiatry: Understanding the Anatomy of the Basal Forebrain

Written by renowned author Daniel S. Zahm, “Anatomy of Neuropsychiatry: The New Anatomy of the Basal Forebrain and Its Implications for Neuropsychiatric Illness, Second Edition” is a comprehensive guide to the anatomical systems involved in the scientific and clinical study of emotional functions and neuropsychiatric disorders.

Rethinking the Limbic System: A Critical Review

This book takes a critical look at the limbic system, discussing the cortical and subcortical structures in the human brain involved in emotion, motivation, and emotional association with memory. However, it also challenges the traditional concept of the limbic system, presenting a more nuanced understanding of the complex relationships between brain structures and neuropsychiatric illnesses.

New Insights into the Basal Forebrain and Cerebellum Macrosystems

Newly revised, this edition includes in-depth chapters on the anatomy of the Basal Forebrain and Cerebellum Macrosystems, shedding light on their crucial roles in motion, emotion, and neuropsychiatric illnesses. These chapters provide readers with a deeper understanding of the gross anatomical organization of the human forebrain, empowering them to develop more effective diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.

Enhanced Learning with Clinical and Basic Science Boxes

The book features Clinical and Basic Science Boxes, which highlight specific concepts, structures, and neuronal circuits from functional and clinical perspectives. These boxes provide readers with a deeper understanding of complex topics, facilitating a more integrated approach to the study and treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders.

Visualize the Brain with 10 Dissection Videos

The late Lennart Heimer’s 10 videos of dissections of the human brain offer a unique opportunity to visualize the complex anatomical structures discussed in the book. These videos provide a valuable resource for students, researchers, and clinicians seeking to deepen their understanding of the brain and its role in neuropsychiatric illnesses.

Published by Elsevier Science, this book is an essential resource for anyone seeking to advance their knowledge of neuropsychiatry and the anatomical systems that underlie it. With its comprehensive approach, critical review of existing concepts, and innovative learning tools, “Anatomy of Neuropsychiatry” is an invaluable addition to any library or personal collection.
