The Working Brain by Alexander R. Luria
An Introduction to Neuropsychology
A classic exploration of neuropsychology that presents a functional-systems view of the brain, proposing three interdependent units for arousal, information processing, and executive regulation. Using rich clinical case studies, it shows how complex mental functions arise from distributed networks rather than isolated centers, and analyzes syndromes such as aphasia, agnosia, and apraxia to map brain–behavior relationships. Emphasizing plasticity, compensation, and rigorous syndromic analysis, it offers a framework for understanding and diagnosing disorders of perception, memory, language, and action.
