Synopsis

This book summarizes and critically evaluates the body of results that has accumulated over the years on Wada testing, which is used in the pre-operative evaluation of epilepsy surgery patients. Also known as the Intracarotid Amobarbital procedure, this method is commonly referred to as the Wada test in tribute to Juhn Wada, the physician who devised the technique. Topics include language and memory assessment, amobarbital effects on the EEG, and the research results on brain-behaviour relationships which have been derived from this procedure. This book aims to be a useful reference for researchers and clinicians.
