Anatomical research has begun to show neural pathways linking language comprehension regions to speech regions and others linking parietal areas involved in writing/reading with those essential for motor control and language production. As a result, investigators with diverse backgrounds in language research now have an increasing need for a well-illustrated book focused on the anatomy of language, and Neuroanatomy of Language Regions of the Human Brain is just that.

Produktbeschreibung
Anatomical research has begun to show neural pathways linking language comprehension regions to speech regions and others linking parietal areas involved in writing/reading with those essential for motor control and language production. As a result, investigators with diverse backgrounds in language research now have an increasing need for a well-illustrated book focused on the anatomy of language, and Neuroanatomy of Language Regions of the Human Brain is just that. Here is a richly illustrated, practical reference for any scientist interested in the study of brain and language, providing insight into the pathways for certain aspects of language processing and covering both classic work and modern discoveries.
Autorenporträt
Dr. Petrides is a Professor at the Montreal Neurological Institute, McGill University. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society, the Royal Society of Canada and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. His research focuses on the neural bases of cognitive processes and involves the analysis of the functions of the frontal, temporal, and parietal neocortex and related subcortical neural structures. His research is also focussed on examination of the sulcal and gyral morphology of the human cerebral cortex and comparative architectonic studies. He has authored numerous journal articles (h-index = 88; i10-index 189) and is the author of The Human Cerebral Cortex (2011), Neuroanatomy of Language Regions of the Brain (2013) as well as co-author of 3 other atlases.
