Book excerpt: Advances in the neurocognitive sciences, aided by increased imaging power, have extensively confirmed that during early development specific areas of a child’s brain are designed to process specific functions — neurologic, cognitive, linguistic, motoric, and visuospatial, among others — and that this processing involves globally complex interconnections with other areas distributed throughout the brain: a lesion in a given area interferes with the functioning and coherence of the system as a whole. This volume discusses the consequences of early brain injury to many parts of the brain, including the basal ganglia, with their related disorders of aphasia, OCD, and AD/HD, as well as white matter and its associated neuropsychological impairment of intelligence, language, and visuoperception. The corpus callosum and cerebellum are studied as they relate to learning motor sequences and language as well as communication disorders and social behavior. This book also looks at mirror neurons as they affect the understanding of others’ intentions and the development of empathy and gestural and other forms of language. The implications of these findings are examined since they have a critical effect on the rehabilitative and educational efforts that are being designed to mitigate the effects of early brain lesions on the growing child.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of neuropsychological functions in children has lately undergone a considerable evolution, most obviously represented by the evidence that cerebral areas of the child's brain are specialised at a very early stage. Such evidence has been derived from a number of anatomical, physiological and clinical studies. This book examines and defines the pictures of any deficient function, or of several, in relation to lesions of different cerebral areas, thereby indirectly demonstrating the role of these areas in neuropsychological development.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this publication is to demonstrate the effect of the neural networks on cognitive functions and behavioural patterns during the development phase of a child. Taking as a basis the previous publication in this series dedicated to brain lesion localisation and development, this time it is by examining in particular the frontal lobe, limbic system (hippocampus and amygdala) and visuo-cognitive system that this book looks at the close links between the neural networks and the future development of visual, cognitive and functional capacities. The section on the frontal lobe concentrates on anatomy, mirror neurons, memory, executive functions, the neuropsychology of frontal lobe epilepsy and the resolution of social problems which can occur as a result of brain damage. The part on the limbic system looks at neuro-anatomical organisation and the core functions of the hippocampus and amygdala, problems of language, music, emotions or autism. Finally, the section dedicated to the visuo-cognitive system summarises the visual field problems associated with focal lesions, the correlation with neuro-imagery and visual impairment in children born prematurely.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The brain ... There is no other part of the human anatomy that is so intriguing. How does it develop and function and why does it sometimes, tragically, degenerate? The answers are complex. In Discovering the Brain, science writer Sandra Ackerman cuts through the complexity to bring this vital topic to the public. The 1990s were declared the "Decade of the Brain" by former President Bush, and the neuroscience community responded with a host of new investigations and conferences. Discovering the Brain is based on the Institute of Medicine conference, Decade of the Brain: Frontiers in Neuroscience and Brain Research. Discovering the Brain is a "field guide" to the brainâ€"an easy-to-read discussion of the brain's physical structure and where functions such as language and music appreciation lie. Ackerman examines: How electrical and chemical signals are conveyed in the brain. The mechanisms by which we see, hear, think, and pay attentionâ€"and how a "gut feeling" actually originates in the brain. Learning and memory retention, including parallels to computer memory and what they might tell us about our own mental capacity. Development of the brain throughout the life span, with a look at the aging brain. Ackerman provides an enlightening chapter on the connection between the brain's physical condition and various mental disorders and notes what progress can realistically be made toward the prevention and treatment of stroke and other ailments. Finally, she explores the potential for major advances during the "Decade of the Brain," with a look at medical imaging techniquesâ€"what various technologies can and cannot tell usâ€"and how the public and private sectors can contribute to continued advances in neuroscience. This highly readable volume will provide the public and policymakersâ€"and many scientists as wellâ€"with a helpful guide to understanding the many discoveries that are sure to be announced throughout the "Decade of the Brain."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developmental Disorders of the Brain: Brain and Behaviour addresses disabilities that occur or have their roots in the early, developmental phase of life which are of utmost concern to parents, siblings, carers and teachers. This text describes the latest clinical and behavioral findings of disorders which largely or entirely involve the frontostriatal (basal ganglia) system including Tourette’s, Obsessive-Compulsive and Attention-Deficit-Hyperactivity disorders, Schizophrenia, Autism, gambling and addiction, depression, and Conduct, Developmental Motor Co-ordination, and language disorders. Examples of disorders involving the frontocerebellar are also described such as Asperger’s disorder, Williams, Fragile X, and Cerebellar Cognitive Affective syndromes, and Friedreich Ataxia. This book also discusses the relevant anatomy, physiology and pathology, and some of the major functions mediated by affected or relevant structures, together with accounts of the latest recording, brain imaging and stimulating techniques related to these kinds of disorders. Covering both frontostriatal and frontocerebellar, systems which control and direct normal behavior, and which can fail with often distressing consequences during development, as well as addressing behavioural, clinical, pathophysiological and technical aspects, this text is vital to understanding, diagnosis and management of developmental disorders of the brain. This text will be of great interest to clinicians, researchers, teachers and parents.

Book excerpt: The localization of small vascular lesions within the brain-stem is the focal point of this volume which correlates clinical examination, evoked potentials, brain-stem reflexes and imaging techniques in one overview. For the first time, a group of experts has been brought together to summarize the various methods for detecting functional disturbances of specialized structures, to correlate these findings with morphologic criteria (MRI) and, finally, to elaborate patterns of abnormal findings which are characteristic of small brain-stem lesions. You are thus informed about neuro-physiological techniques which are superior to imaging techniques in local brain-stem pathology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has long been recognized that damage to the mammalian central nervous system may be followed by behavioral recovery, but only re cently has close attention been directed to specific factors which may enhance or retard restitution. This is evident in the rapidly growing number of journal articles and scientific paper sessions dealing with "recovery of function," as well as in the publicity given by the popular press to some of the findings in this field. The present text seeks to examine the foundations of brain lesion research, to review recent material on a number of factors which ap pear to contribute to recovery after brain damage, and to present mod els which have been proposed to account for these effects. In order to best accomplish these goals, a number of key workers in these areas were asked to examine and describe research literatures dealing with specific problems or methodological manipulations associated with brain damage and behavior, using their own experiments and those of others to illustrate important points. In addition, significant interpre tive and theoretical issues were to be evaluated in each chapter.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Herein I research the role of the basal ganglia and prefrontal cortex in visual working memory and attention by examining patients with focal, unilateral lesions to these brain regions. By combining patient-based behavioral research with scalp electroencephalography (EEG) I study the specific deficits caused by focal frontal brain lesions and explore the effects that such lesions have on diverse cortical network functioning related to working memory and attention. Furthermore, I investigate the role that neuroplasticity plays in compensating for damage to the prefrontal cortex as relates to working memory and attention. By examining the localization of cognitive functions in the brain and how these seemingly fixed locations may reflect flexible neural networks that can change in response to brain damage, I show how the intact homologous prefrontal cortex compensates for the damaged hemisphere in patients with unilateral prefrontal lesions when these patients are cognitively challenged. I then expand on this notion of cognitive compensation by demonstrating that behavioral performance is reduced when we block the fidelity of visual information transferred from the damaged to the intact hemisphere. Finally, in a methodological analysis of a unique patient cohort, I address the advantages and limitations of scalp EEG. Defining specific brain regions by function does not necessarily inform us about how cognitive functions arise or change and adapt during development and in response to brain injury or disease. Rather, I argue that we must adopt a dynamic view of cognition wherein cortical regions are but nodes in fluctuating, malleable networks that give rise to the complexities of human behavior.
