Volume 3 includes two sections. The first, Section 5 of the Handbook (Topic Editor: L. Squire), deals with memory and its disorders. Specific topics include the organization and neurological foundations of memory, the neuropsychological assessment of learning and memory, and a discussion of which structures and connections must be damaged to produce memory disorders. Specific syndromes are also discussed, including post-traumatic amnesia, transient global amnesia, and functional amnesia. This section concludes with chapters on rehabilitation and on pharmacological treatment of memory disorders. The second part of this volume, Section 6 (Topic Editor: G. Gainotti), deals with emotional behavior and its disorders. It includes a review of theories of emotion, of the anatomical and neurochemical bases of emotional behavior, lateralization and hemispheric specialization, as well as specific disorders of emotion and emotional arousal including anxiety and depression.
