Description

"Memory and its Disorders" is dedicated to the memory of Laird Cermak who, despite his grave illness, vigorously and resolutely took on the task of preparing a new section on memory and its disorders. The section includes chapters on animal models and neuropsychological assessment. Memory is discussed from the anatomical and clinical viewpoints, and memory disorders resulting from specific diseases, such as Herpes simplex and Alzheimers disease are considered in detail. The section further provides a cognitive neuropsychological analysis of various forms of memory, including explicit memory, remote memory and semantic memory. Chapters on confabulation and on functional amnesia are also included.
