The study of patients affected by disorders of the central nervous
system is one of the crucial research methods for investigating the
organization of cognitive functions in the brain. However, many
clinicians remain unaware of the significant advances that have
taken place in the field of cognitive neuroscience in the last
decades. This book provides an introduction to the cognitive and
behavioural aspects of the clinical practice of neurology. Most of
the contributors to this book combine an active clinical practice
with a leading role in their respective research area, and have
provided concise summaries of the theoretical advances which they
consider as potentially relevant for the clinical evaluation and
treatment of patients. This general approach has led to a format
which is different from the many textbooks of neuropsychology that
have appeared in the last few years. The organization of the
material follows the main issues of diagnostic evaluation, clinical
presentation and management. As a consequence, the book deals not
only with the classical neuropsychological syndromes associated
with stroke and degenerative dementias, but also with other common
clinical conditions, such as multiple sclerosis, head injury,
epilepsy and psychiatric disorders, which are often neglected in
neuropsychology textbooks. Cognitive Neurology will be essential
for neurologists in training, who want to understand how the
observations they make everyday in the clinic relate to the
expanding knowledge about the organization of cognition and emotion
in the human brain. It will also be of interest to psychologists
and cognitive neuroscientists, speech and language clinicians and
rehabilitation specialists and psychiatrists.
