Localization and neuroimaging in neuropsychology

Advances in neuroimaging in the last ten 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 discuss methodologies including EEG, PET, and MRI. The next nine 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 lesions * Organized by localization methodologies, as well as 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
