Description
This book, like the first edition, represents the melding of two major themes in behavioral neurology – the relationship of mind and brain,
and the practical diagnosis of disorders of the higher functions. Topics include consciousness, language, praxis, gnosis, corpus callosum,
memory, dementia, delirium, psychosis, depression, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, movement disorders, stroke, brain injury, and rehabilitation.
Bridging the gap between basic cognitive neuroscience and brain imaging information and practical clinical management, this edition
is perfect for all general and behavioral neurologists and residents alike.
