An illuminating account of the neurological basis of the components of thinking such as language, memory, visual imagery, attention, and higher mental control. Organized by functional categories, disorders are integrated to outline a neural basis for thought processing. Clinical case histories illustrate disorders of thinking based on focal brain damage or more widespread cerebral dysfunction. A fascinating and provoking read for those concerned with the relationship between the brain and behaviour.
This remarkable book uses clinical vignettes to illustrate and analyse disorders of the thinking process based on focal brain damage or more widespread cerebral dysfunction. The disorders are organized in functional categories and integrated, in the effort to outline a neural basis for thought processing.
