    Summary: "Now in its fourth edition, The Brain and Behavior introduces the field of neurobiology of human behavior to a wide audience, from graduate students to professionals in the fields of psychology, psychiatry and neurology. This comprehensive resource focuses on locating human behaviors to specific regions of the brain, aiming to make a complex topic visually accessible through the inclusion of clear and focused illustrations. This important new edition emphasises recent developments in our understanding of the human brain which have emerged from imaging studies. The text also features patient case histories with documented anatomical evidence, tying the science with actual clinical examples, making it the most accessible book for medical practitioners of all levels. The collaboration between a neuropsychiatrist, a behavioral neurologist and a neuroanatomist has resulted in a book which synthesizes the complex and evolving information on the neurobiology of human behavior, and presents it in an eminently readable volume"--Publisher's description.

    An enzyme with phospholipase Al activity was purified some 500-fold from Escherichia coli cell homogenates. Lipase, phospholipase A2, and lysophospholipase copurified with phospholipase A1 and the four activities displayed similar susceptibility to heat treatment. The phospholipase A and lipase activities were recovered in a single band when partially purified preparations were subjected to SDS gel electrophoresis. Phospholipase, lysophospholipase, and lipase all required Ca2+ for activity. Phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, and their lyso analogues were all hydrolysed at equivalent rates and these were substantially greater than the rate of methylpalmitate or tripalmitoylglycerol hydrolyses under similar incubation conditions. Evidence for a direct but slow hydrolysis of the ester at position 2 of phosphoglyceride was obtained; however, release of fatty acid from this position is mostly indirect involving acyl migration to position 1 and subsequent release of the translocated fatty acid. Escherichia coli, therefore, appears to possess a lipolytic enzyme of broad substrate specificity acting mainly at position 1 but also at position 2 of phosphoglycerides and on triacylglycerols and methyl fatty-acid esters.
