Aphasia and Brain Organization

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the analysis of aphasia, this work synthesizes ten years of research from the Institute for Aphasia and Stroke in Norway, encompassing data from 249 patients. It introduces a comprehensive framework for understanding language functions and employs an operationalized classification system for research. The author argues that aphasia reflects a multidimensional brain disturbance, exploring its connections to neuropsychological disorders such as memory and visuospatial abilities, while also examining the condition's variations over time.
