The Preface ends by telling us that the leitmotif of the book is excitement and by expressing the hope that this will be shared by the reader. There is excitement herein, not least in that the hard work involved is rewarded with the overall feeling that satisfying synthesis of these disparate approaches to brain functioning are brought that much closer by this type of volume.
