Summary

In this book, we explore how the neurological organization of the brain influences the way people think, feel, and act. Critical to our understanding of the link between brain and mind is cognitive neuroscience, which comprises investigations of mental functions linked to neural processes, ranging from investigations in animals to humans and from experiments performed in the laboratory to computer simulations. Much earlier work in this area comes from human neuropsychology, which examines changes in behavior as a result of brain trauma.
