Inhaltsangabe
Excerpt from The Mental Functions of the Brain: An Investigation Into Their Localisation and Their Manifestation in Health and Disease
The author has based his localisations chiefly on clinical and pathological investigations. Over eight hundred cases are adduced, not merely of the recognised varieties of mental derangement, but of all kinds of deviation from the normal mind, even as regards the manifestation of hunger and thirst. The book con tains numerous cases of interest to lawyers, as well as physicians, and should prove of value to all students of human character.

Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book challenges conventional wisdom about the mind and its connection to the brain. The author argues that our understanding of mental functions is still deeply flawed, and that traditional approaches to treating mental illness are ineffective because they fail to recognize the localization of specific mental functions within the brain. By analyzing hundreds of case studies, the author presents evidence for a map of the brain's mental landscape, demonstrating how different regions are responsible for distinct emotions, passions, memories, and even seemingly simple instincts like hunger and thirst. The book delves into the complex relationship between the brain and skull, analyzing how physical features can reveal underlying mental propensities. In doing so, the author reintroduces the work of Franz Joseph Gall, a pioneering physician whose groundbreaking research on brain anatomy and its relation to human character was largely dismissed by the scientific community. By reviving Gall's neglected insights, the author provides a framework for understanding the origins of mental difference, challenging prevailing notions of free will and providing a path to a more nuanced approach to mental health. This book is a compelling and thought-provoking exploration of the human mind, offering a fresh perspective on the intricate relationship between brain and behavior. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781331987048_0
