...complete accounting of the present level of knowledge concerning the functioning of the brain in violent behavior on a fairly elementary level.

In fact, some of the casualness in discussing the medical applications of surgical techniques may seem a bit gruesome to the uninitiated. A dozen pages of pictures illustrate the drilling of holes in the human skull and the implanting of electrodes deep inside the brain. The following brief description...
