Now in its Fifth Edition, Neuropsychological Assessment reviews the major neurobehavioral disorders associated with brain dysfunction and injury. This is the 35th anniversary of the landmark first edition. As with previous editions, this edition provides a comprehensive coverage of the field of adult clinical neuropsychology in a single source. By virtue of the authors' clinical and research specializations, this book provides a broad-based and in-depth coverage of current neuroscience research and clinical neuropsychology practice. While the new edition is updated to include new features and topics, it remains true to the highly-regarded previous editions. Methods for obtaining optimum data are given in the form of hypothesis-testing techniques, clinical tips, and clinical examples. In the seven years since the previous edition, many advancements have been made in techniques for examining brain function and in our knowledge about brain-behavior relationships. For example, a surge of functional imaging data has emerged and new structural imaging techniques have provided exquisite detail about brain structure. For the first time, this edition includes examples of these advancements, many in stunning color. This edition also includes new tools for clinicians such as a neuroimaging primer and a comparison table of the neuropsychological features of progressive dementias. The chapters on assessment procedures include discussion of issues related to test selection and reviews of recently published as well as older test batteries used in general neuropsychological assessment, plus newly developed batteries for specific issues.

In the past few years, there has been an explosion of eye movement research in cognitive science and neuroscience. This has been due to the availability of 'off the shelf' eye trackers, along with software to allow the easy acquisition and analysis of eye movement data. Accompanying this has been a realisation that eye movement data can be informative about many different aspects of perceptual and cognitive processing. Eye movements have been used to examine the visual and cognitive processes underpinning a much broader range of human activities, including, language production, dialogue, human computer interaction, driving behaviour, sporting performance, and emotional states. Finally, in the past thirty years, there have been real advances in our understanding of the neural processes that underpin eye movement behaviour. The Oxford Handbook of Eye Movements provides the first comprehensive review of the entire field of eye movement research. In over fifty chapters, it reviews the developments that have so far taken place, the areas actively being researched, and looks at how the field is likely to devlop in the coming years. The first section considers historical and background material, before moving onto section 2 on the neural basis of eye movements. The third and fourth sections looks at visual cognition and eye movements and eye movement pathology and development. The final sections consider eye movements and reading and language processing and eye movements. Bringing together cutting edge research from and international team of leading psychologists, neuroscientists, and vision researchers, this book is the definitive reference work in this field.

Desde hace una veintena de años, las ciencias cognitivas han contribuido a una comprensión multidisciplinar de la mente y la cognición. Actualmente existen programas y departamentos dedicados a las ciencias cognitivas y los estudios cognitivos en un importante número de instituciones internacionales. También existen importantes publicaciones sobre este área de investigación. Sin embargo, faltaba una obra de referencia que pudiera ser de utilidad para los investigadores que trabajan en las distintas tradiciones en toda la gama de campos relacionados con las ciencias cognitivas. La Enciclopedia MIT de Ciencias Cognitivas viene a llenar esta laguna. Es una obra pionera que abarca de manera comprensiva toda la diversidad metodológica y teorética de las ciencias cognitivas. La enciclopedia, de 1.500 páginas, contiene casi 500 entradas, cada una de las cuales ha sido redactada por un investigador especializado de renombre, y ofrece una introducción accesible a un concepto importante en las ciencias de la cognición. En cada entrada se ofrece también, para aquellas personas que quieran ampliar sus conocimientos en el tema, una lista de referencias y sugerencias bibliográficas para profundizar en la lectura.

This book contains a large collection of beautiful figures produced throughout the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth century and that represent some characteristic examples of the early days of research in neuroscience. The main aim of this work is to demonstrate to the general public that the study of the nervous system is not only important for the many obvious reasons related to brain function in both health and disease, but also for the unexpected natural beauty that it beholds. This beauty has been discovered thanks to the techniques used to visualize the microscopic structure of the brain, a true forest of colorful and florid neural cells. As illustrated by his marvelous drawings, the studies of Santiago Ramn y Cajal (1852-1934) no doubt contributed more than those of any other researcher at the time to the growth of modern neuroscience. Thus, we have honored his name in the title of this book, even though the figures contained in the main body of the book are from 91 authors. Looking at the illustrations in this book the readers will not only marvel at Cajal's drawings but they will also find that many of the other early researchers that studied the nervous system were also true artists, of considerable talent and aesthetic sensibility. Thus, the present book contains numerous drawings of some of the most important pioneers in neuroscience, including Deiters, Klliker, Meynert, Ranvier, Golgi, Retzius, Nissl, Dogiel, Alzheimer, del Ro-Hortega and de Castro.

The Second Edition of A Compendium of Neuropsychological Tests incorporates the major developments in neuropyschology and new research findings about brainbehavior relations in the 1990s. It has been considerably expanded and contains new chapters on test selection, administration, and preparation of the client. report writing and the informing interview. executive functions. occupational interest and aptitude. and malingering and symptom validity testing. Among the new tests are the KaufmanBrief Intelligence Test, MiniMental State Examination, Wechsler Individual Achievement Test, Design Fluency Test, Symbol Digit Modalities Test, Consonant Trigrams, California Verbal Learning Test, and the Boston Diagnostic Aphasia Test. For each test the authors provide a thorough description, source and price, instructions for administration, duration, scoring procedures, sample score sheets, normative data, and information on reliability and validity. They also discuss why special tests may be of use and emphasize clinical techniques helpful in making inferences about the functional integrity of brain regions. An important feature of this compendium is that it does not limit itself to the adult age range, but includes all available norms for pediatric and gerontological populations, as well as neuropsychological tests developed specifically for children. A very practical resource, this book aims to help neuropsychologists, neurologists, educational and clinical psychologists select appropriate tests, interpret the results, and formulate opinions within the context of the evaluation and treatment of neuropsychological disorders. It will also alert clinicians and researchers to the psychometricproperties of their instruments.

La escala DICAE está diseñada para ofrecer un perfil cognitivo general de personas con discapacidad intelectual moderada o grave, capacidad verbal limitada (o nula) y con necesidad de apoyo extenso. Tambien resulta una prueba muy util en los casos en los que existe un diagnostico añadido del espectro autista de bajo funcionamiento.Un punto fuerte de esta escala es que, ademas de ofrecer un perfil del nivel global de competencias cognitivas de la persona evaluada (a partir de las escalas de Atencion, Lenguaje, Praxia, Gnosia visual, Funciones ejecutivas, Memoria, Cognicion social y Orientacion), permite obtener un informe destinado a las familias y cuidadores. Su objetivo es informar de los potenciales y limitaciones de la persona evaluada y aportar consejos para facilitar y mejorar su vida cotidiana.De cara al proceso de intervencion, este instrumento tambien permite valorar otra area muy importante: la comprension de pictogramas e imagenes reales que, a su vez, ofrece la posibilidad de dar una respuesta no verbal por parte de la persona evaluada.Todo ello hace que la DICAE sea una escala muy util para el ambito clinico ayudando tanto a profesionales como familiares a comprender mas el dia a dia de personas con este tipo de limitaciones.

Details As life expectancy increases and population ages, the already enormous impact of neurodegeneration on society will become even larger without better prevention and treatment. Developing strategies to prevent degeneration of neurons and to promote a healthy nervous system is, thus, critical. The development of pharmacological agents that would increase production of new neurons was recently facilitated by the identification of the hormonal regulators of various steps of adult neurogenesis. Written by a group of top world experts involved in the study of the mechanisms of hormonal control of brain damage and repair, this book gives a comprehensive account of the neuroprotective and neurogenic effects of steroid and polypeptide hormones. It discusses the effects of thyroid and steroid hormones (estrogens, androgens, progestins, gluco-mineralo-corticoids, various neurosteroids) or polypeptide hormones (CRF, urocortins, somatostastin, GH/IGF, leptin, prolactin, glucagon peptides, PACAP, erythropoetin) on neuronal survival and neurogenesis in various neurodegenerative conditions and in brain aging in detail. Furthermore, the book presents new pharmacological approaches for treatment of neurodegenerative conditions based on the neuroprotective and neurogenic properties of natural and synthetic hormones. This is an essential resource for all neurobiologists, students and lecturers in pharmacy, endocrinologists, gynecologists, neurochemists, libraries and biotechnological institute...CONTINUA
