内容説明
Presenting the fourth edition of a classic text on neuropsychology. This book covers the relationship between brain and behaviour, and will appeal to a wide variety of disciplines. Features: * Neuropsychological abnormalities are described in terms of the function or dysfunction of the lobes of the brain, in contrast to the cognitive approach of the competition. * Discussion of the neuropsychological abnormalities is preceded by a clear introduction to neuroanatomy and neurology. * Includes clearly discussed clinical case examples. New to this edition: * Discussion of advances in concurrent technologies such as neuroimaging. * Clarification of the nature of a behavioural neurology examination, and how it compares and contrasts with more standardised psychometric evaluations. * Updating of dementia section. * Expansion of Brain and Behaviour chapter, putting the approach of the book in the context of related disciplines.
