Review: This textbook provides an introduction to neurophysiology for undergraduates, graduate clinical psychology trainees, and other medical and paramedical groups. This second edition, written 25 years after the first, has been thoroughly revised in the light of changes in neurophysiology over the years. The book is divided into four parts: Introduction; Clinical studies; Experimental studies; and Applications. There are sixteen chapters, including separate chapters on the frontal, temporal, parietal and occipital lobes; language; the subcortex and psychosurgery; split brains and dual minds; divided visual field studies; dichotic listening; individual differences – gender and handedness; neuropsychological practice; and neuropsychiatry and neuropsychology.
