Summary
  • Advances in neuroimaging in the past 10 years have been nothing short of spectacular. Localization and Neuroimaging in Neuropsychology presents a comprehensive and thoroughly current review of theory and methodology in this rapidly advancing field. The first eight chapters address methodologies, including EEG, PET, and MRI.
  • The remaining chapters discuss localization information with respect to specific symptoms and syndromes, including aphasia, alexia, agraphia, apraxia, agnosia, dementia, and other cognitive deficits.
  • Key Features: discusses cutting-edge techniques in neuroimaging and localization of brain lessons; organized by localization methodologies, as well as by symptom and/or syndrome; summarizes information on the structural foundations of cognitive neuropsychology and brain mapping; covers the neuropsychology of language, memory, and cognition; provides a balanced presentation of cognitive function in each hemisphere.
