"The neurology of consciousness, second edition, is a comprehensive update of this ground-breaking work on humanconsciousness. It is the first book in this area to summarize the neuroanatomical and functional underpinningsof consciousness by emphasizing a lesional approach offered by the study of neurological patients. Since the publication of the first edition in 2009, new methodologies have made consciousness much more accessiblescientifically. In particular, the study of disorders, disruptions, and disturbances of consciousness has added tremendously to our understanding of the biological basis of human consciousness. The publication of a new edition is both critical and timely for continued understanding ofthe field of consciousness. In this update, revised and new contributions by internationally renowned researchers,edited by the leaders in the field of consciousness research, provide a unique and comprehensive focus on human consciousness." -- Back cover. |
