New narrative brings in important historical, philosophical, and histotechnical contexts, integration with novel technologies (e.g., optogenetics) and structures (e.g., rostromedial tegmental nucleus), a deeper dive into the interactions of forebrain and prospective cerebellar macrosystems with the reticular core of the brain, and current viewpoints on the essential role of macrosystems in motion, motivation, emotion, cognition, and neuropsychiatric well-being.
- Presents discredited concept of the limbic system
- Reviews the neuroanatomy of the basal forebrain, greater limbic lobe, and reticular core
- Includes Clinical and Basic Science Boxes highlighting specific concepts, structures, and neuronal circuits from functional and clinical perspectives
- Features 10 videos of dissections of human brain done by the late Lennart Heimer
Student and Clinician in neuroanatomy, neuropharmacology, neurophysiology, neurology, psychiatry, basic neuroscience researchers, occupational and physical therapists.
