This book provides comprehensive coverage of speech and language
disorders arising from pathological processes involving the
subcortical structures of the brain. It gives an understanding of
these disorders in terms of their neuropathological basis, clinical
symptomatology and prognosis. A full discussion of contemporary
models and theories of subcortical participation in speech and
language processing is given, including discussion of the possible
roles of structures such as the basal ganglia, subthalamic nucleus,
thalamus and cerebellum.
The book covers speech and language disorders associated with a
variety of subcortical conditions, ranging from major degenerative
conditions such as Parkinsons' Disease, Huntington's chorea and
dystonia, through to acquired non-degenerative subcortical lesions
arising from, for example, cerebrovascular accidents and
sterotactic surgically induced lesions. In addition, a full
description of the relevant assessment and treatment procedures
currently recommended for use for each of the subcortical
communication disorders is given.
