This third edition builds on its predecessor's strong research base, student-oriented style, and comprehensive topical coverage and adds a totally redesigned illustration package. An art and photo programme is now included, with the majority of art redesigned and enhanced to better complement Pinel's pedagogy. Difficult technical topics such as neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, and genetics are now supported by improved illustrations. Pinel weaves together the main concepts and findings in the field with anecdotes, metaphors, case studies, and personal implications.
