"The focus of the book is on basic research and theory, primarily employing animal subjects. Hence, the book will interest particularly basic research neuroscientists and graduate students. However, as septal area function can be implicated in a number of human pathologies including amnesia, Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia, anxiety, addiction, attention deficit disorder, and movement disorders, this volume will also attract the interest of neuropsychologists, neurologists, and clinicians."--BOOK JACKET.
