This text balances experimental and clinical perspectives with a survey of a
variety of mental functions. In a conversational style, the authors provide
clear, accessible explanations of difficult concepts, making use of analogies
and case studies to illustrate them. A consistent structure throughout each
chapter defines a mental function and the role of each part or parts of the
brain in that function, followed by a discussion of what neuropsychological
syndromes say about the cognitive and neural organization of the mental
function.
