Neuroimaging in Neurogenic Communication Disorders (Original PDF from Publisher)

1.1.Description

“Neuroimaging in Neurogenic Communication Disorders”  offers a comprehensive exploration of cases employing neuroimaging to understand and address neurogenic communication disorders.

The book covers essential neuroanatomy and medical conditions associated with speech and language disorders resulting from damage to the central or peripheral nervous system, such as Parkinson’s disease, stroke, dementia, traumatic brain injury, and brain tumors.

Targeting medical students, practitioners, and researchers in neuroscience and speech-language pathology, each case study provides insights into neuroanatomy, case presentation, neuroimaging, differential diagnosis, and final diagnosis.

The focus is on acquired neurogenic communication disorders, including apraxia, dysarthria, and aphasia, with cases organized by anatomical entities involved in lesions.

This resource serves as a valuable guide for those seeking a deeper understanding of the intricate relationship between neuroimaging and neurogenic communication disorders.
