Overview
Attempts to bridge the gap between the study of neuroanatomy and behavioral neurology/neuropsychology
Initially derived from a series of lectures given to and, hence conceived as, a review of functional neuroanatomy for students of clinical neuropsychology
While most functional neuroanatomical texts provide what might generally be considered a more limited treatment of the brain itself, here cortical and subcortical systems are clearly the main focus of the book
Provides readers not only with the clinical correlates of neuroanatomical structures and/or pathological changes, but with theoretical models for understanding how and why one might account for those behaviors
Provides a general review of the cerebrovascular system and major neurochemical transmitters
Includes a substantial Glossary to facilitate a quick review of potentially unfamiliar terms or concepts

Reviews
From the reviews:
"Clinical Neuroanatomy: A Neurobehavioral Approach is an outgrowth of seminars requested by neuropsychology interns and residents … . Readers will be impressed by the authors’ attention to explaining the limitations of current anatomical and physiological knowledge and reasons for the often confusing overlapping descriptions of various structures. … the work remains a laudable effort and worthy of consideration, not only by neuropsychologists but also as a valuable addition to one’s reference library by all psychologists who intend to work in health care." (John E. Carr, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 53 (31), 2008)
"This book describes the role of both higher cortical and subcortical structures in understanding neurological deficits. … Students and clinicians in neuropsychology are the primary audience, but the book is also relevant for ‘behavioral and traditional neurologists, neuropsychiatrists, and others who have an interest in exploring the mysteries of brain-behavior relationships’ … . helps readers to understand brain structure and function from both the vantage point of normal behavior and pathology." (Gary B Kaniuk, Doody’s Review Service, October, 2008)
"Tulane Medical School clinical neuropsychologist Mendoza and behavioral neurologist Foundas team up to provide an in-depth overview of higher-order functions, their anatomical and neurochemical substrates, pathology, and theories of functional brain organization. … An outgrowth of seminars to neuropsychology interns and residents … . It is also suitable for other clinicians who work with the neurologically impaired." (SciTech Book News, June, 2008)
