Vision of the Brain

A Vision of the Brain is the most sustained attempt made so far to explain how the cortex works both with specific reference to vision, and generally. At a level accessible to those beginning studies in neuroscience, this exciting book explores the unfolding of our understanding, as a detective story, of how the visual cortex works, which in turn gives us a vision of how the brain works as a whole. Illustrated throughout in two colors, and examining both normal and abnormal functions, this book will be of major interest to neurologists, psychologists, ophthalmologists and neuroscientists.
