Attention Disorders After Right Brain Damage
This book provides an overview of attentional impairments in brain-damaged patients from both clinical and neuroscientific perspectives, and aims to offer a comprehensive, succinct treatment of these topics useful to both clinicians and scholars. A main focus of the book concerns left visual neglect, a dramatic but often overlooked consequence of right hemisphere damage, usually of vascular origin, but also resulting from other causes such as neurodegenerative conditions. The study of neglect offers a key to understand the brain’s functioning at the level of large-scale networks, and not only based on discrete anatomical structures. Patients are often unaware of their deficits (anosognosia...
The Temporal Lobe
The Temporal Lobe, Volume 187 covers the exponential growth of studies on the relationships between brain and language/cognition, many of which involved the temporal lobe. This volume summarizes research on the anatomy and function of the temporal lobe under both normal and pathological conditions. In addition, it discusses the interactions of the temporal lobe with other brain structures. The book highlights the role of the temporal lobe in language processing as well as vision, object, face recognition and processing. The book also discusses the temporal lobe's role in reading, speech and the processing of color, music, action and memory. Temporal lobe disorders, assessments and treatments are also covered, including encephalitis, Alzheimer's, epilepsy, Korsakov's syndrome, and more. - Summarizes research on the anatomy and function of the temporal lobe - Identifies the importance of the temporal lobe to language and speech - Includes how the temporal lobe interacts with other brain structures - Reviews disorders of the temporal lobe, including dementia, encephalitis, and more
Dernières nouvelles du cerveau
Comment naît le langage ? Quelle est l’origine de la conscience ? Pourra-t-on bientôt lire dans nos rêves et nos pensées en enregistrant l’activité de nos neurones ? Comment apprend-on ? Et qu’est-ce que le connectome ? Fascinant par sa complexité, le cerveau reste un objet mystérieux pour tout un chacun, alors même que les neurosciences cognitives ont connu une évolution stupéfiante. Dans cette brillante synthèse, l’auteur détaille l’état du savoir sur le cerveau, des découvertes de Paul Broca à la fin du XIXe siècle aux dernières percées de l’imagerie et de l’analyse comportementale. Lui-même praticien, il n’oublie pas de se pencher sur les applications concrètes de la recherche, qui visent à combattre le vieillissement de l’organe et à mieux comprendre des pathologies comme l’AVC ou la maladie de Parkinson.
Penser droit
"Pensez avec votre cerveau droit !" : derrière cette injonction familière se cache une vision binaire, celle d'un hémisphère droit siège de la créativité, de l'intuition, de la spiritualité, etc. qui serait sous la coupe d'un hémisphère gauche analytique et froid. Or les neurosciences ont montré qu'il était temps d'en finir avec ces mythes éculés. Médecin et chercheur, Paolo Bartolomeo révèle dans cet ouvrage une tout autre réalité, à l'issue d'une passionnante enquête scientifique reposant sur de nombreux cas cliniques.Reconnaître un visage et l'émotion qu'il exprime, apprécier la musique, s'orienter dans l'espace ou encore avoir conscience de son propre corps : les " vrais " talents du cerveau droit composent un paysage d'une richesse insoupçonnée et fondent une large part de notre humanité.

History of Cartography
This illustrated work is intended to acquaint readers with the early maps produced in both Europe and the rest of the world, and to tell us something of their development, their makers and printers, their varieties and characteristics. The authors' chief concern is with the appearance of maps: they exclude any examination of their content, or of scientific methods of mapmaking. This book ends in the second half of the eighteenth century, when craftsmanship was superseded by specialized science and the machine. As a history of the evolution of the early map, it is a stunning work of art and science. This expanded second edition of Bagrow and Skelton's History of Cartography marks the reappear...
Cognitive Neuropsychology
When responding to a suddenly appearing stimulus, we are slower and/or less accurate when the stimulus occurs at the same location of a previous event, as compared to when it appears in a new location. This phenomenon, often called Inhibition of Return (IOR), has fostered a huge amount of research in the last 20 years. This special issue will provide the reader with state-of-the-art information about the current debate on the functional mechanisms and the neural bases of IOR, and will thus become a reference for research on spatial attention.
A Philosophy of the Screenplay
Recently, scholars in a variety of disciplines—including philosophy, film and media studies, and literary studies—have become interested in the aesthetics, definition, and ontology of the screenplay. To this end, this volume addresses the fundamental philosophical questions about the nature of the screenplay: What is a screenplay? Is the screenplay art—more specifically, literature? What kind of a thing is a screenplay? Nannicelli argues that the screenplay is a kind of artefact; as such, its boundaries are determined collectively by screenwriters, and its ontological nature is determined collectively by both writers and readers of screenplays. Any plausible philosophical account of the screenplay must be strictly constrained by our collective creative and appreciative practices, and must recognize that those practices indicate that at least some screenplays are artworks.
