Description
1. This textbook can be used for: (a) undergraduate students taking their first course in behavioral neuroscience with minimal background in the biological sciences; and (b) graduate students who are taking their first course in neuropsychology.
2. Chapters 1 through 12 cover material that can be used in an undergraduate course in behavioral neuroscience. These chapters focus on brain physiology, chemical signaling, psychopharmacology, neuroanatomy, neuroimaging, the neuropsychology of cognition, and common neurological conditions. The material is presented in a straightforward format suitable for undergraduate students being exposed to this information for the first time. These chapters serve as an important review when the text is being used with graduate students, for whom chapters 13 through 18 cover clinical neuropsychological assessment in adults. The special topics covered in chapters 19 and 20 review material pertaining to the neuropsychological assessment of children and brain injury rehabilitation that is suitable for both undergraduate (excepting the latter half of chapter 19) and graduate instruction.
3. Within this textbook neuropsychology is narrowly defined as the use of lesion analysis in human patients to further an understanding of brain/behavior relationships. Clinical neuropsychologists provide services to patients with structural brain injury to assist with diagnosis, management, and treatment.
4. Brain/behavior relationships described are those that are supported by a preponderance of the evidence. Isolated, novel, or unclear brain/behavior relationships are not reviewed.
5. A quantitative/qualitative flexible approach to neuropsychological assessment is described with emphasis upon using individual comparison standards as estimates of preexisting neurocognitive skill levels.
6. Neuropsychological assessment of American minorities is discussed including cases studies of bilingual Hispanic Americans.
7. Mental disorder is conceived as problematic behaviors with psychosocial determinants. There is no reliance on the medical “disease” model of psychopathology that is discussed in detail in chapter 4.
