Neuroanatomy for Speech Language Pathology and Audiology 2nd Edition

Neuroanatomy for Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology 2nd Edition | ISBN-13 9781284151060

Neuroanatomy for Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology, Second Edition is specifically tailored to the needs of Communication Sciences and Disorders students. Updated with the latest research, it includes foundational knowledge of general neuroanatomy with a focus that is relevant to both audiences of speech-language pathology and audiology. This student-friendly and engaging text is organized into four main sections: Part I introduces students to the nervous system; Part II discusses the main neurological structures; Part III focuses on the neurology of speech, language, hearing, cognition, emotion, and swallowing; and Part IV delves into practicing neuroanatomy in the field.

New and expanded content has been added on key neurogenic communication disorders and their connection to the nervous system as well as information about brain changes across the lifespan.
Introduces students to neuroanatomy from a communication sciences and disorders perspective.
Questions for Deeper Reflection and Suggested Projects go beyond the essentials, encouraging students to delve deeper into the material, while Draw it to Know It exercises provide suggestions for drawing activities.
New information about brain changes through the lifespan.
All chapters have been updated with additional figures, tables, and boxes to enhance student learning.
