"A four-color exploration of brain anatomy for psychiatric residents and practitioners. Research proves that brain architecture is directly related to psychiatric disorders, but brain regions specifically affiliated with behavior are not adequately addressed in psychiatric training. Ronald L. Green and Robyn L. Ostrander do just that, examining a range of psychiatric conditions and the corresponding parts of the brain that are affected."
