This book is at once a textbook on neuroanatomy, specifically the features of the limbic brain, and a history of medicine. It weaves together the historical and scientific strands of research on the limbic brain, which houses consciousness and emotion in mammals, especially man, and in which there is now growing interest among researchers, specifically those involved in the behavioral neurosciences.

The Backstory of the Brain. A Cult Classic?

This book is a must for anyone interested in learning about the brain. It is packed with references to the literature of original investigators and not only explains the function of the limbic brain, but, in essence, details the history of ideas about the limbic brain, from Broca's anatomic description to Papez's Circuit. Although somewhat idiosyncratic, with some pages containing more footnote than text, this book is a terrific treatment of the subject. I wouldn't be surprised if this becomes a classic in the literature. Thank you Dr. Lautin!

Review:
A Wonderful Narrative to a Fascinating Subject

The subject of this book is not only one of the most fascinating in neuroscience, but the author treats it in such a way to make it even more intriguing. More general texts about the limbic system are competent in conveying the facts, but Dr. Lautin adds another dimension by placing these facts in historic (and scientific) context, through copious footnoting and elucidating sidebars. Nothing could be better, in my view, than giving the reader the facts, a good narrative and a roadmap to learn more about the subject. This is what Dr. Lautin has accomplished. Bravo!

Review:
Getting Inside Your Mind

Thinking. Reasoning. The unique qualities that makes us human. This book provides a unique and concise insight into that most complex of all machines, the human brain. Although not everyone will be up to the challenge, for those who do, that is read this book, it will be a mind opening experience. In "The Limbic Brain" Dr. Lautin offers lucid explanations that make this part of our minds, which we all share, a truly emotional experience. In this book, Dr. Lautin has achieved the sweet smell of success in making the arcane clear. This is a must read, not for the summer beach, but for a comfortable chair in front of a window to your mind.

Review:
A masterpiece

Finally, a clinical text written for the average reader. The inner workings of the brain in an easy to understand form. Excellent.

Review:
THE STUDY OF THE LIMBIC BRAIN

This book; consisting of 150 pages, carefully describes the basic concepts and principles in our understanding of the limbic brain anatomy dating to Broca's proposal in 1878. Also the Papez cicuit, MacLean's limbic system and Nauta's limbic midbrain are extensively described.

The text is written in a remarkably clear fashion. There are many figures which illustrate the text. There are also many citations that make clear that the limbic system itself is a system under construction. All quotations are referenced.

In brief, this book is a must for people working in psychiatry, psychology and neurology.
