From the outset, it should be made clear that this book is not a new text on cognitive neuroscience. It does not pretend to cover the whole area comprehensively and is unsuitable for those wanting a thorough introduction or overview of cognitive neuroscience with colored illustrations. Instead, this volume could be considered a companion to such a text. Findings and Current Opinion in Cognitive Neuroscience, contains a set of 46 articles carefully selected from Current Opinion in Neurobiology, which is part of an even wider series offering current opinions on a wide range of scientific–medical topics (e.g., Current Opinion in Neurology and Neurosurgery). Those who browse in medical or academic libraries will be familiar with the series, which is unique. Instead of the traditional journal format, a collection of short review articles are presented, each written by an expert in the particular field. Each article summarizes current thinking in the area or field, and concludes with an annotated bibliography. Six issues of each set of current opinions are published annually. Each issue is dedicated to a particular aspect of an area.
