New Techniques for Identifying the Neural Substrates of Language
This issue includes studies demonstrating how advanced imaging techniques and new methods of recording brain function can reveal areas of the brain that are essential for specific language processes. The first two papers report use of arterial spin labelling (ASL) perfusion MRI to identify areas of poor blood flow (hypoperfusion) that have impaired neural function. The first paper describes a group study that demonstrates that severity of language impairment in aphasic patients is more strongly correlated with extent of hypoperfused tissue than with extent of infarct. The second paper is a detailed single case study of a patient with reading impairment. While conventional MRI in this patient...
An Introduction to Language and Linguistics
This work offers an introduction to the traditional topics of structural linguistics: theories of sound, form, meaning, and language change and also provides coverage of contextual linguistics, including chapters on discourse, dialect variation, language and culture, and the politics of language.
Psychiatric Aspects of Neurologic Diseases
This book is a practical reference for clinicans who care for patients with the neurologic diseases. Focused on the evaluation and treatment of psychiatric conditions that ffect the vast majority of these patients, the book draws from the collective wisdom and clinical expertise of the faculty of the Johns Hopkins Division of Geriatric Psychiatry and Neuropsychiatry.

The Neural Basis of Reading
Reading is a unique human ability that has become very pivotal for functioning in our world today. As modern societies rely extensively on literacy skills, and as reading disabilities have profound personal, economic and social consequences, it is surprising that we have a very underdeveloped scientific understanding of the neural basis of reading and visual word recognition in the normal brain. This book fills this gap in the literature by addressing some of the fundamental questions in reading research.
Physical Eloquence and the Biology of Writing
As a statement about literacy, this book recommends an approach to teaching writing that stresses the neurological foundations of written English, mastered almost like a foreign language. "Physical eloquence" refers to neurological processes of hand, eye, and ear that every writer must control in order to generate and simultaneously to interpret a written text. "Biology of writing" refers to innate or otherwise untaught abilities that all people have for acquiring prose and which are not enhanced by formal learning. Ochsner promotes a realistic writing curriculum that stresses subconscious processes in the biology of the writing process rather than planned, rehearsed, and formally practiced activities for learning to write. He concludes that successful literacy instruction depends on a teacher's willingness to take into account the supremacy of popular culture and the ascendancy of its spoken idiom.
Connectionist Modelling in Cognitive Neuropsychology
This title presents the most comprehensive existing "case study" of how the effects of damage in connectionist models can replicate the patterns of cognitive impairments that can arise in humans as a result of brain damage.
Accelerated Learning & Memory Improvement (2 In 1) Bundle To Learn Faster, Improve Your Memory & Save Time Even If You Have a Bad Memory Or Are Easily Distracted
If you want to Learn Faster and Remember More without spending countless hours studying then keep reading.... If you've ever found yourself forgetting things then you have probably wished that your memory was better...Or maybe whenever you try learning something you end up forgetting the information as fast as you read it. In any case, you may be thinking that you are born with a good memory or you're not. But that's not the case. Fortunately, Scientists have discovered that the human brain has an astonishing ability to adapt and change, even into old age. With the right stimulation, your brain can form new neural pathways, alter existing connections, and adapt in ever-changing ways. There a...
Handbook of Communication Disorders
The domain of Communication Disorders has grown exponentially in the last two decades and has come to encompass much more than audiology, speech impediments and early language impairment. The realization that most developmental and learning disorders are language-based or language-related has brought insights from theoretical and empirical linguistics and its clinical applications to the forefront of Communication Disorders science. The current handbook takes an integrated psycholinguistic, neurolinguistic, and sociolinguistic perspective on Communication Disorders by targeting the interface between language and cognition as the context for understanding disrupted abilities and behaviors and providing solutions for treatment and therapy. Researchers and practitioners will be able to find in this handbook state-of-the-art information on typical and atypical development of language and communication (dis)abilities across the human lifespan from infancy to the aging brain, covering all major clinical disorders and conditions in various social and communicative contexts, such as spoken and written language and discourse, literacy issues, bilingualism, and socio-economic status.
