Description: The authors strike a fine balance in this book with appropriate coverage of neuroanatomy and physiology, focusing on clinical applications and case studies without neglecting theory, research, or experimental data, and attending to evolution and animal research without neglecting human applications. The book integrates the relatively new area of clinical neuropsychology and compares it with what we know about the normal brain.
-- Two special features at the beginning of the book, Timeline of Significant Developments in Neuropsychology and Structure-Function Relationships provide useful summaries that can easily be referred to from any point in the book.
-- Keep in Mind questions at the beginning of each chapter prepare readers for the material that follows and help them focus on key topics as they read.
-- Web Connections, integrated at the end of every chapter, list relevant URLs that are hot linked from the Wadsworth Web site inviting readers to explore additional learning environments: http: //www.wadsworth.com.
-- A Summary, Key Terms, and Critical Thinking Questions at the end of each chapter help readers gauge their mastery of the material. The answers to the questions are in an appendix.
