The author explores how the brain engages in complex decision-making; how it deals with novelty and ambiguity; and how it addresses moral choices. The author also challenges entrenched assumptions. For example, we know the left hemisphere of the brain is the seat of language--bu…
Elkhonon Goldberg's groundbreaking The Executive Brain was a classic of scientific writing, revealing how the frontal lobes command the most human parts of the mind. Now he offers a completely new book, providing fresh, iconoclastic ideas about the relationship between the brain…

This book is founded on lesions of cortical gray matter, but recently the contributions of cerebral white matter to cognitive and emotional dysfunction have also attracted attention. Christopher Filley surveys this broad and fascinating field from a clinical perspective. Stimula…
This text brings the neurosciences to aviation and is concerned with the physiology, pathology and clinical aspects of exposure to altitude (including mountaineering), linear and angular accelerations, and circadian desynchrony.
This book brings the neurosciences to operational and clinical aviation medicine. It is concerned with the physiology and pathology of circadian rhythmicity, orientation, hypotension and hypoxia, and with disorders of the central nervous system relevant to the practice of aviati…
"The neurology of consciousness, second edition, is a comprehensive update of this ground-breaking work on human consciousness. It is the first book in this area to summarize the neuroanatomical and functional underpinnings of consciousness by emphasizing a lesional approach off…
