COVER ILLUSTRATION. The classical disconnection syndromes. The pathways implicated in each syndrome are shown in red with the causal lesion in yellow. Carl Wernicke is linked to both conduction aphasia and associative agnosia. Hugo Liepmann is linked to apraxia. Jules Déjérine is linked to pure alexia without agraphia. These images are overlaid on a contemporary 3-dimensional reconstruction of fibre connections between parietal and frontal lobes in the left hemisphere derived from a single brain from D. Catani and D. ffytche, The rises and falls of disconnection syndromes, pp 2224–2239.
