    About this ebook

    The Parietal Lobe, Volume 151, the latest release from the Handbook of Clinical Neurology series, provides a foundation on the neuroanatomy, neurophysiology and clinical neurology/neuropsychology of the parietal lobe that is not only applicable to both basic researchers and clinicians, but also to students and specialists who are interested in learning more about disorders brought on by damage or dysfunction. Topics encompass the evolution, anatomy, connections, and neurophysiology, the major neurological and neuropsychological deficits and syndromes caused by damage, the potential for improvement via transcranial stimulation, and the role of the parietal in the cerebral networks for perception and action.

    • Provides a broad overview of the neuroanatomy, neurophysiology and clinical neurology of this region of the cortex
    • Offers additional insights regarding the role of the parietal in the cerebral networks for perception and action
    • Addresses the most frequent complications associated with damage, including somatosensory, perceptual, language, and memory, deficits, pain, optic ataxia, spatial neglect, apraxia, and more
    • Edited work with chapters authored by global leaders in the field
    • Presents the broadest, most expert coverage available
