Description: 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.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index.
