This book provides clinicians and researchers with the current
state-of-the-art on the pharmacological treatment of aphasia. The
focus is on the role of different pharmacological agents to improve
aphasia associated with stroke and to attenuate language
dissolution in degenerative conditions like Alzheimer's disease and
primary progressive aphasia. This book is the first one that
addresses these topics. Leaders in the field provide tutorial
reviews on how focal brain injury and degeneration impact on the
normal the activity of different neurotransmitter systems and how
drugs combined or not with rehabilitation can improve language and
communication deficits. This is nicely illustrated by studies on
single cases and case series describing the beneficial effects of
interventions combining drugs with evidence-based rehabilitation
techniques. Throughout the volume, future directions to refine
testing aimed to detect gains in language and non-language
cognitive deficits promoted by drug treatment are highlighted. This
book is essential reading for anyone interested in the
rehabilitation of aphasia and related cognitive disorders. This
book was originally published as a special issue of Aphasiology.
