With Macmillan’s superior content delivered by LaunchPad (a first for this title), Fundamentals of Human Neuropsychology continues to keep pace with its dynamic field, just as it has done throughout its nearly four decades of publication. As they have done since the first edition, the authors draw on recent research and their own clinical and lab experience to guide their development of the content, and on their experience in the classroom to help hone the presentation in a way that is both accessible and engaging to students. Coverage includes recent developments in network analysis, neural imaging, and genetic research―particularly in terms of the impact on our understanding and assessment of brain injury and disorders.

Neuropsychology is the study of brain-behaviour relationships and examines such domains of cognitive functioning as memory, attention, visual-perceptual abilities, language and intellectual function. It is strongly scientific in its approach and shares an information processing view of the mind with cognitive psychology and cognitive science. It is one of the most eclectic of the psychological disciplines, overlapping at times with areas such as neuroscience, philosophy (particularly philosophy of mind), neurology, psychiatry and computer science (particularly by making use of artificial neural networks).

Through 18 essays, this book traces the history of neuropsychology, showing the origin and establishment of present concepts used in practice. Psychologists, neurologists, neuropsychologists, and other specialists from the US, Japan, the United Arab Emirates, and Europe discuss the of discovery of cerebral specialization; the introduction of emotions and behavior in the assessment of neurological patients; Pierre Marie’s "zone lenticulaire"; Gogi aphasia and its relation with semantic dementia; alexia and agraphia; the early history of amnesia; hemineglect and attentional dysfunction; the history of anosognosia, amusia, "frontal" syndromes and executive dysfunction, subcortical cognitive impairment, dementia, and neuropsychological assessment; hallucinations, delusions, and confabulations; early case descriptions of developmental cognitive deficits; the historical path from the description of cognitive recovery to formal neuropsychological rehabilitation; and famous neuropsychologists from the 19th and 20th century.

Free Download Neuropsychology of Epilepsy and Epilepsy Surgery By Gregory P. Lee
2010 | 376 Pages | ISBN: 0195372506 | PDF | 4 MB
This book provides essential information about the variety of seizure disorders and serves as a basic epilepsy reference guide for students and practicing clinical neuropsychologists. In addition to epilepsy neuropsychological assessment issues, the book provides an overview of the known cognitive effects of seizures as well as the adaptive, emotional, and psychiatric consequences of epilepsy including a chapter on psychogenic nonepileptic seizures. Diagnostic tests, such as EEG and structural neuroimaging, are described and the leading treatment options are detailed with a chapter on pharmacologic therapies which reviews the known cognitive and behaivoral side effects of specific antiepileptic drugs. Many of the more rare epilepsy disorders have been included in the appendices for quick and easy reference. The book also details the role of neuropsychology within the epilepsy surgery process including pre-and post-surgery cognitive evaluations, cortical stimulation mapping, functional neuroimaging, and intracarotid amobarbital (Wada) procedures and reviews the major surgical treatment options used in the intractable epilepsies. Case examples are dispersed throughout the text with neuropsychological results as heuristic aids. The book concludes with a glossary of epilepsy terms.

Free Download Neuropsychology of Communication By Michela Balconi (auth.), Michela Balconi (eds.)
2010 | 223 Pages | ISBN: 8847015839 | PDF | 2 MB
The volume focuses on the neuropsychological correlates of communication in daily interactions. The predominant account in explaining the construction of meaning by humans is the inter-relational perspective, which postulates an intentional convergence of meaning arising as a consequence of the active exchanges between people. The neural correlates of communication are described on the basis of new empirical results, with particular focus on language and language development, pragmatics and neuropragmatics of communication, neurocognition and the cognitive bases of intentions, nonverbal communication and emotion contribution to communicative systems. In addition, new methodological approaches are described, such as neuroimaging (PET and fMRI), and brain stimulation techniques (MEG and TMS), as well as their applications in research and in the clinical field.

Free Download Ignite Your Leadership: The Power Of Neuropsychology To Optimize Team Performance by Steve Swavely
English | June 9th, 2023 | ISBN: 1957651393 | 158 pages | True EPUB | 0.86 MB
What if you could peer into the brain of your teammates to understand what makes them tick and how to lead them best? That information would be key to taking your team to a new level of performance. Unfortunately, most leaders spend most of their time on the technical and operating systems of their businesses without learning how to manage the human system. The good news is that research from neuropsychology has clearly demonstrated that with the right approach these skills can be trained.
