Synopsis

Volume 2 of the Handbook of Neuropsychology covers the remaining part of Section Three and Section Four. Section 3 (Topic Editor: Professor H. Goodglass) encompasses aphasia and related disorders; it is shared over Volumes 1 and 2. This section includes chapters on clinical-anatomical (including imaging) and electrophysiological correlates of language and aphasia, and on recovery and therapy of aphasia. Related topics include aphasia in polyglots and in left-handers, artistry after unilateral brain lesions, nonverbal conceptual impairment in aphasia and sign language aphasia. The section ends with three chapters which are only indirectly related to language: one on disorders of body awareness, one on motor control and one on apraxia. Section 4 (Topic Editor: Professor A.R. Damasio) addresses the topic of disorders of visual behavior. It covers experimental issues in animal and man, and issues of diagnosis. Special emphasis is given to the remarkable analyses of anatomy and function in the field of vision research in the past decade. The chapters address disorders of recognition, visuospatial analysis, imagery, blindsight and stereopsis, visual neglect and constructional apraxia.
