Description
In the past decade, enormous strides have been made in understanding the human brain. The advent of sophisticated new imaging techniques
(e.g. PET, MRI, MEG, etc.) and new behavioral testing procedures have revolutionized our understanding of the brain, and we now know
more about the anatomy, functions, and development of this organ than ever before. However, much of this knowledge is scattered across
scientific journals and books in a diverse group of specialties: psychology, neuroscience, medicine, etc. The Encyclopedia of the
Human Brain places all information in a single source and contains clearly written summaries on what is known of the human brain.
Covering anatomy, physiology, neuropsychology, clinical neurology, neuropharmacology, evolutionary biology, genetics, and behavioral
science, this four-volume encyclopedia contains over 200 peer reviewed signed articles from experts around the world. The Encyclopedia
articles range in size from 5-30 printed pages each, and contain a definition paragraph, glossary, outline, and suggested readings, in
addition to the body of the article. Lavishly illustrated, the Encyclopedia includes over 1000 figures, many in full color. Managing
both breadth and depth, the Encyclopedia is a must-have reference work for life science libraries and researchers investigating
the human brain.
Audience
Major college and university library systems of the world; individuals, corporations, laboratories, and groups interested in the human brain.
