Description

Renowned as a pioneer in behavioural neurology, the late Dr Norman Geschwind was a mentor and role model to the world's leading neurologists and behavioural scientists. In this volume, colleagues of Geschwind present their personal recollections of him and demonstrate his influence on their personal and professional growth and achievements. The text begins with reflections on Dr Geschwind as personality, colleague, teacher, advisor, international figure and physicist. Subsequent sections examine his seminal contributions to the study of language disorders, other disorders of higher cortical function, epilepsy, and the relationship between handedness, cerebral dominance and autoimmune disease.
