That is in no small part due to the fact that Western sciences are often viewed as completely disparate. We were going to attempt to integrate research findings from a number of these seemingly disparate disciplines into a cogent, but new, comprehensive model. The fields of cognitive neuroscience, neurophysiology, clinical neuropsychology, and developmental neuroscience are all drawn upon to produce what we think is an integrated and conceptually intact whole that explains how the construct of motivation operates in the human brain. This is not to say that we didn’t have some conjectures about how it all might work, we did. We also had some ideas about what our findings might mean for the practice of clinical neuropsychology in par
