The leading clinical reference on behavioral neurology! This state-of-
the-art second edition reflects groundbreaking coverage of both
clinical and theoretical aspects of brain-behavior studies. Features
five new chapters in such rapidly expanding areas as cerebral
plasticity, functional brain imaging, alterations in states of
consciousness, and genetics of neural development.
-DESCRIPTION-
Behavioral Neurology and Neuropsychology reflects the state-of-the-
art in both the clinical and theoretical aspects of brain-behavior
studies, with an emphasis on the clinical. Features authoritative
coverage of disorders of perception, attention and awareness;
frontal, colossal, and subcortical syndromes and delirium and
dementia. The 2nd edition will boats five new chapters on the topics
of cerebral plasticity, functional brain imaging, genetics of neural
development, and alterations in the state of consciousness. New
chapters representing the most current information in cognitive
neuropsychology will strengthen its market position
-KEY FEATURES-
*Comprehensive and Comprehensible
*Very clinically oriented
*Wealth of new information on Functional Brain Imaging
*Provides synthesis of information from fields of neurology and
psychiatry
