This book offers a comprehensive synthesis of ideas, research, and clinical experience for students, clinicians, and practitioners in neuropsychology, neuropsychiatry, and behavioral neurology. Drawing on thousands of studies across psychology, philosophy, neurology, neurosurgery, physiology, and neuroanatomy, the author integrates scientific findings with personal clinical insights to explore the human mind and conscious experience.
