Anatomy of Neuropsychiatry (2nd Ed.) The New Anatomy of the Basal Forebrain and Its Implications for Neuropsychiatric Illness

Langue : Anglais

Couverture de l’ouvrage Anatomy of Neuropsychiatry
Anatomy of Neuropsychiatry: The New Anatomy of the Basal Forebrain and Its Implications for Neuropsychiatric Illness, Second Edition, builds upon reprised classic chapters by Lennart Heimer and Gary Van Hoesen describing the cortical and subcortical structure and functional involvements of several functional?anatomical macrosystems in the human forebrain, the existence of which obviates the vaunted heuristic value of the “limbic system” concept in the study of motivation and emotion. 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.

1. The limbic systemdan eroding concept in perpetual search for a definition and some key experimental neuroanatomical discoveries that have undermined it 2. The anatomy of the basal forebrain 3. The greater limbic lobe 4. Focus on basal forebrain macrosystems 5. Interfaces of macrosystems with the brainstem reticular formation, thalamus, and each other 6. Macrosystems in motion, representation, value, emotion, and neuropsychiatric illness 7. Cerebellum as a macrosystem 8. Basal forebrain macrosystems as a fundamental organizing principle of vertebrate brain

Daniel S. Zahm works at Saint Louis University, St. Louis, MO, USA.
