Terrence Deacon, “The Symbolic Species: The Co-evolution of Language and the Brain”, 1997.

The book published in 1997 on symbolic thinking was on neural linguistics. The language areas of brain: are the expression, Broca Area and the receptive Wernicke Area. The “Arcuate Fasciculus” is a nerve fiber bundle connection from Broca to  Wernicke areas. The use of symbols and symbolic thinking in neurology is Deacon’s subject.
