About this title

Synopsis

This book, like the first edition, represents the melding of two major themes in behavioral neurology the relationship of mind and brain, and the practical diagnosis of disorders of the higher functions. Topics include consciousness, language, praxis, gnosis, corpus callosum, memory, dementia, delirium, psychosis, depression, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, movement disorders, stroke, brain injury, and rehabilitation.

Bridging the gap between basic cognitive neuroscience and brain imaging information and practical clinical management, this edition is perfect for all general and behavioral neurologists and residents alike.

Offers a straightforward approach to diagnosis, recognition, and management

Clinical aspects derived from recent findings and research

Features expanded material on emerging knowledge of cerebral function from functional brain imaging related to consciousness, language, mood, and psychosis
