Understanding consciousness is the major unsolved problem in biology. One increasingly
important method of studying consciousness is to study disorders of consciousness,
e.g. brain damage and disease states leading to vegetative states, coma, minimally
conscious states, etc. Many of these studies are very much in the public eye because
of their relationship to controversies about coma patients (e.g. Terry Schiavo case
in the US recently), and the relationship to one of the major philosophical, sociological,
political, and religious questions of humankind. This is the first book to summarize
our current understanding of the neuroanatomical and functional underpinnings of human
consciousness by emphasizing a lesional approach offered via the study of neurological
patients. The selected contributors are all outstanding authors and undisputed leaders
in their field
