Glees seeks to present, through a combination of morphological data and physiological and neurological studies, a comprehensive survey of our knowledge of the human brain. The major emphasis is on structual organization, based on the evolution of this most complex of organs. However, functional aspects including experimental research and clinical findings also have been incorporated, broadening the interest for students of neurobiology and clinical medicine.
Reviews & endorsements
"...this book distinguishes itself because of the organization, wealth of information, and evolutionary and teleological approaches. Most notable, however, is the fact that it may be read on multiple levels..." The Yale Journal of Biology and Medicine
