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.

Loose-leaf Version for Fundamentals of Human Neuropsychology

Drawing on their extensive experience in teaching and research, the authors explore the biological basis of behavior, whilst emphasising clinical aspects of neuroscience and reinforcing its relationship to the human experience.

An Introduction to Brain and Behavior

La neuropsicologa es el puente entre la psicologa y la neurociencia y su estudio, por lo tanto, debe incluir una extensa revisin de la anatoma y la fisiologa, as como la psicologa cognitiva, experimental y clnica. Neuropsicologa Humana, 5 edicin, se ha dividido en partes siguiendo esta filosofa. La parte I proporciona la informacin bsica necesaria para quienes se inician en el estudio del cerebro. Las siguientes partes consideran las relaciones entre cerebro y conducta concentrndose primero en la organizacin general de los hemisferios cerebrales (Parte II) y la anatoma (parte III) y luego en las funciones psicolgicas (Parte IV). Finalmente la parte V explica los trastornos neurolgicos y su rehabilitacin.

Neuropsicología humana

There are few books devoted to the topic of brain plasticity and behavior. Most previous works that cover topics related to brain plasticity do not include extensive discussions of behavior. The first to try to address the relationship between recovery from brain damage and changes in the brain that might support the recovery, this volume includes studies of humans as well as laboratory species, particularly rats. The subject matter identifies a consistent correlation between specific changes in the brain and behavioral recovery, as well as various factors such as sex and experience that influence this correlation in consistent ways. Evolving from a series of lectures given as the McEachran Lectures at the University of Alberta, this volume originally began as a summary of the lectures, but has expanded to include more background literature, allowing the reader to see the author's biases, assumptions, and hunches in a broader perspective. In writing this volume, the author had two goals in mind: * to initiate senior undergraduates or graduate psychology, biology, neuroscience or other interested students to the issues and questions regarding the nature of brain plasticity, and * to provide a monograph in the form of an extended summary of the work the author and his colleagues have done on brain plasticity and recovery of function.
