This second volume examines two critical areas of brain function under the guidance of leading researchers. Professor H. Goodglass leads the exploration of aphasia and language disorders, covering how brain damage affects speech and communication. The text examines clinical evidence from brain imaging and electrical studies of language processing. It addresses recovery methods and therapeutic approaches for aphasia patients. Special attention goes to language problems in people who speak multiple languages and left-handed individuals. The volume also covers artistic abilities after brain injury, thinking problems without language involvement, and sign language disorders. Professor A.R. Damasio directs the section on visual behavior disorders, presenting experimental findings from both animal and human studies. The book provides diagnostic frameworks and emphasizes practical clinical applications for understanding how brain damage disrupts visual processing and behavior.
