Acknowledgments

Once again, we are indebted to a number of people. First and foremost we would like to thank Rebecca A. Gazzaniga, M.D. for her extensive and savvy editing of the Fourth Edition. She mastered every chapter, with an eye to make sure the story was clear and engaging. We could not have completed this edition without her.

We are also especially grateful to Tamara Y. Swaab, Ph.D. (University of California, Davis), for the language chapter in this and prior editions, Michael B. Miller, Ph.D. (University of California, Santa Barbara), for contributions to the chapter on hemispheric lateralization, Stephanie Cacioppo, Ph.D. (University of Chicago), for contributions to the chapter on emotion, and Jason Mitchell, Ph.D. (Harvard University), for contributions to the social cognition chapter. For answering miscellaneous questions that cropped up in the methods chapter we would like to tip our hats to Scott Grafton (University of California, Santa Barbara) and Danielle Bassett.

For work on the previous editions that continues to play an active part in this new edition we thank again Megan Steven (Dartmouth College) for her writing skills, Jeff Hutsler (University of Nevada, Reno) and Leah Krubitzer (University of California, Davis) for evolutionary perspectives, Jennifer Beer (University of Texas, Austin) for insights on social cognition, and Liz Phelps for her work on emotion. Tim Justus (Pitzer College), Chadd Funk, Adam Riggal, Karl Doron, Kristin McAdams, and Todd Heatherton (Dartmouth College) who are all to be thanked for sharing their advice and wisdom and for helping along the way. We thank Frank Forney for his art in the previous editions, and Echo Medical Media for the new art in this edition. We also thank our many colleagues who provided original artwork or scientific figures. We would also like to thank our readers Annik Carson and Mette Clausen-Bruun who took the time to point out typos in our previous edition, to anatomist Carlos Avendaño, who alerted us to some anatomical errors, and to Sophie van Roijen, who suggested the very good idea of adding an index of abbreviations.

Several instructors took time from their busy schedules to review our previous edition and make suggestions for this edition. We thank Joy Geng, University of California, Davis; Brian Gonsalves, University of Illinois; Roger Knowles, Drew University; Sam McClure, Stanford University; John McDonald, Simon Fraser University; Kathleen Taylor, Columbia University; and Katherine Turner, San Diego State University.

In addition, we are indebted to many scientists and personal friends. Writing a textbook is a major commitment of time, intellect, and affect! Those who helped significantly are noted below. Some reviewed our words and critiqued our thoughts. Others allowed us to interview them. To all we owe our deep gratitude and thanks.

Often we forget to thank the many people, some of whom have generously given hundreds of hours of their time, for being participants in the research work that we discuss; without their contributions, cognitive neuroscience would not be where it is today.

Finally, we would like to thank the outstanding editorial and production team at W. W. Norton, Michael Zierler, Diane Cipollone, Aaron Javsicas, Sheri Snavely, Callinda Taylor, Shira Averbuch, and Eric Pier-Hocking, whose sharp eyes and wise counsel have helped us produce this exciting new edition of our textbook.
