Recenzje

'The work is authoritative and boasts an impressive list of contributors. Anyone serious about understanding higher brain function should be interested in the "state-of-the-art" ideas and data presented in this interesting volume. The breadth of topics addressed in this book illustrates the importance of subcortical structures in human neuropsychological processes.' John R. Ansher, Bowman Gray School of Medicine, Journal of Neurological Sciences, 116 (1993)
