In this long-established, leading reference in the field, Hyman (Harvard U.) and his co-editors compile 18 articles which represent recent advances in neuroscience. Topics covered, from affect and emotion to the human visual cortex, with the most entries include behavioral neuroscience (9 titles), clinical neuroscience (27), developmental neurobiology (29), molecular neuroscience (20), synapses/synaptic transmission (14), and the visual system (12). The "miscellaneous" category includes an article on the impact of the Human Genome Project on psychiatry. The volume includes a list of related articles in other annual reviews (e.g., the Annual Review of Biochemistry), color illustrations, and the cumulative indexes by contributing author and chapter title of volumes 23-32. Readers are referred to a companion website for corrections.
