This volume is the third and final part of the planned coverage of
the neurochemical circuitry of the primate central nervous system.
The five chapters included in this volume complement and integrate
magnificently with the two prior volumes.
Included in the volume are the following: a two-fold exposition on
the human forebrain, comprised of a comprehensive overview of the
entire human forebrain, and a specific focus on the basal forebrain
(a region critical for a wide range of human problems ranging from
substance abuse to Alzheimer's disease), a critical synthesis of
the primate basal ganglia (a region under intense scrutiny for the
organization of motor programs, and for their dysfunctions in
Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease and other malfunctions),
the chemical and anatomic details of the primate hippocampal
formation in extenso, and lastly, a review of the rapidly growing
literature on the mesocortical projection of dopaminergic circuits
onto the primate frontal cortex ( a system highly linked to higher
order mental abstractions, as well as the dysfunctions of
schizophrenia).
Scholars will recognize that the laying out of these status reports
on our still vastly incomplete examination of the primate brains is
an opportunity for progress.
