The Neurological Side of Neuropsychology
Neurologists, neuropsychologists, and cognitive scientists work with many of the same problems and patients and yet know little about the literature and approaches of the other disciplines. The Neurological Side of Neuropsychology is a primer for neurology residents, graduate students, and established professionals from other fields who wish to enter behavioral neurology. It provides a clear and coherent introduction to contemporary neurological ideas, carefully contrasting the conventional hierarchical model of brain organization to the newer multiplex model that scientists from biological backgrounds currently use. Instead of presenting laundry lists of arcane maladies along with a key of where in the brain the responsible lesion is, or a compendium of tests for a given situation-the received wisdom that students are required to memorize-Cytowic gives students the historical and conceptual tools they need not only to get up to speed regarding present knowledge, but to go forward.
