Behavior and Mood Disorders in Focal Brain Lesions takes a unique approach to presenting the emotional and behavioral consequences of focal lesions affecting the brain to summarize the current state of research and provide a basis for improved patient care. This is the first clinical reference work to specifically address the relationship of focal brain dysfunction to behavioral and emotional disorders, providing the most comprehensive account available of these manifestations of brain lesions including stroke, trauma, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, and even neurosurgery. A worldwide team of neuroscientists and clinicians examines the links between regional brain dysfunction and disorders of mood, thought and affect processing, and behavior. Chapters are devoted to methodological issues, lesions of specific sites, such as the frontal lobes, basal ganglia, and thalamus, and symptoms such as mood disorder, violent behavior, and anosognosia.

"Medical students, residents and clinicians seeking to generate a broad differential diagnosis for specific psychiatric disturbances, particularly those that accompany neurological diseases, will find having this book useful as a reference. No matter if you start with the "where the lesions is" or "what the lesion is" approach, you will be able to find a quick and useful review of the relationship between these two clinicial questions. For those with more theorectical interests of the complexities of nueral systems underlying mood and behavior, this text provides a good beginning." The Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences
