Salloway, Dr. Paul F. Malloy, and Dr. Jeffrey L. Cummings, and was published in 1997. It compiles contributions from 26 leading experts in neuropsychiatry, originally published in the Journal of Neuropsychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences. The book is divided into two parts, focusing on anatomy and neurochemistry, followed by clinical syndromes. Summary: Part 1 covers fundamental neuroscience topics, including the limbic system, temporal lobe anatomy, and neurobiology of fear responses. Part 2 addresses various neuropsychiatric disorders, such as limbic disorders, schizophrenia, and drug addiction. Each chapter is thoroughly annotated, providing a rich bibliographic resource for researchers and clinicians. Conclusion: Despite its publication years ago, the book remains relevant for contemporary clinicians and researchers in neuropsychiatry. It offers valuable historical insights and a comprehensive overview of the neurobiology related to the limbic system and subcortical structures. The extensive bibliography and expert contributions make it a recommended resource for those interested in the field.
