  • English

English

An overview of the fundamental ways that the brainstem influences the initiation, mediation, and regulation of behavior--and the first major survey in the subject since the appearance of the classic work, The Reticular Formation Revisted. Also featured are an introductory tutorial section that synthesizes research discoveries with the historical milestones in brainstem research, basic neuroanatomy, arousal, etc., that are related to behavorial ``readiness,'' sensory and motor functions, and neuroendocrine and autonomic functions. The latter part of the book features a series of specialized topics, each written by a noted authority in the field.
