The human brain is the inner universe through which all external
events are perceived. That fact alone should ensure that
neuroscience will eventually receive top priority in the list of
human endeavors. The brain represents the pinnacle of
sophistication in the realm of living systems. Yet it is an
imperfect organ, whose failures in disease processes lead to the
occupation of more than half of all hospital beds and whose
variable performance in the healthy state contributes in
undetermined degree to the world's social problems. Every
significant advance in or understanding of the brain has yielded
enormous practical dividends. There is every reason to believe the
future holds even greater promise. In the preface to our first
edition, we drew attention to the establishment of graduate
programs in dozens of universities around the world and the
emergence of numerous international journals devoted to
interdisciplinary work on the brain. The discoveries that have
flowed from this activity have required extensive updating of the
details of this book, which is a testimony to the fruitfulness of
neuroscience research. Yet the basics remain the same. It is more
important than ever that the neuroscientist be presented with the
fundamental subdisciplines that together make up the total of brain
research in an integrated manner.
