This 6-chapter volume is grounded in anatomy, but extends from comparative embryogenesis and convolutional patterns to chemical mapping, from neuronal networks to neuropsychology, and from clinical epilepsy and electroencephalography to neuropsychiatry. Gloor's strengths and comfort in anatomy, physiology, and clinical neurology are evident as one reads through the text.
This ambitious monograph was nearly completed after a decade of labor, when in September 1994 a stroke impaired Gloor's language function. The book's successful completion embodies the best spirit of academia—a group of colleagues reviewing and editing the material, guiding the manuscript through the voyage to publication.
