The book would be useful for those wishing to have an anatomical basis for interpreting patterns of connectivity seen in scans, and some of the clinical symptoms that might be associated with interruption of fibre pathways. There is a brief history of prior contributions, and some elegant illustrations from the classical literature. The bulk of the book reports the results of studies of the course of cortically-originating nerve fibres after an injection of a labelled amino acid is placed into a specific region of the monkey cerebral cortex.
