Neuropsychology of Schizophrenia: An Introduction for Psychotherapists (essentials)
by Patrizia ThomaThis essential discusses schizophrenia in a brief, concise manner in light of its developmental neurobiological pathology. It primarily addresses current neuropsychological findings on cognitive dysfunction in schizophrenia as well as common neuropsychological models to explain the complex and heterogeneous psychopathology. A primary concern of the book is to clarify the extent to which these findings can play a role in the treatment of schizophrenia with regard to their use in psychoeducation as well as the design of (meta)cognitive therapy programs. This Springer essential is a translation of the original German 1st edition essentials, Neuropsychologie der Schizophrenie by Patrizia Thoma, published by Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden GmbH, part of Springer Nature in 2019. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically different from a conventional translation. Springer Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the authors.
Neuropsychology of Visual Perception (Psychology Library Editions: Perception #2)
by Jason W. BrownOriginally published in 1989, this sourcebook for anatomic studies in the neuropsychology of visual perception contains chapters on disorders of visual agnosias, impaired object perception and spatial neglect, and abnormal visual imagery. The neurological basis of visual perception and the disorders that result from brain damage are discussed. At the time the chapters in this volume constituted a state of the art survey in this area and provided data that were essential for the development of models of normal image and object formation.
Neuropsychology of Women: Considerations for Clinical Care & Research
by Erin Sullivan-Baca Rachael L. EllisonWomen have long been underrepresented in scientific research, which has limited our understanding of how they may be uniquely impacted by various medical, psychological, and neurocognitive conditions. Due to this limitation, neuropsychological training and practice has historically fallen short of acknowledging potential sex and gender differences and effectively incorporating this knowledge into evaluations and treatment recommendations. Fortunately, in recent years, contemporary research has begun to draw more focus on unique biopsychosocial factors impacting the epidemiology, presentation, neurocognitive profile, and treatment implications for women with neuropsychological concerns. In an age of increased focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the field of neuropsychology, compounded by the background of everchanging socio-political factors in the U.S. either supporting or opposing this focus, it is crucial that clinical neuropsychologists gain the knowledge and skills to provide individualized, gender-informed care to women patients. It is imperative for neuropsychology as a specialty to champion this initiative as leading experts in the intersection of cognition, mental health and disorders pertaining to the brain, which has the potential to inform clinical practice and research in related fields such as medicine and neuroscience. Neuropsychology of Women: Considerations for Clinical Care & Research provides an overview of the current research-informed knowledge base on how different conditions encountered in neuropsychological practice uniquely present in women patients. Chapters are authored by some of the foremost neuropsychological researchers and clinicians of today, spanning topics inclusive of both those impacting both genders, with a focus on the understudied and unique clinical implications related to women, as well as those disproportionately affecting women. These range from specific neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer&’s disease and movement disorders, to acute events like stroke and traumatic brain injury, to chronic conditions including autoimmune disorders and epilepsy, all consolidating the literature into a concise and accessible format. Chapters focusing on chronic health conditions and issues relating to pregnancy and menopause supplement those focused on neurological conditions to help clinical providers conceptualize patients through a comprehensive neuropsychological lens and to help researchers understand where opportunities lie for further exploration. For those new to the field of neuropsychology, including students and trainees, Neuropsychology of Women: Considerations for Clinical Care & Research extends beyond traditional texts to incorporate issues of DEI through an intentional and organic approach. This is the first book of its kind in over a decade and the most comprehensive resource available to clinical neuropsychologists seeking to provide the highest standard of inclusive practice to women patients.

Neuroscience and Art: The Neurocultural Landscape (Neurocultural Health and Wellbeing)
by Amy IoneThis book is focused on how understanding ourselves as humans is incomplete without considering both biological and cultural aspects. Using the neurocultural perspective, the book explores how everything in the world is filtered back and forth through the brain and culture. The thrust of the book, therefore, is to explore the power of art in creating a bridge between cultural and neuroscientific lines of inquiry. Looking at both clinical and non-clinical populations, the text examines historical foundations, distinguishes congenital/developmental conditions from those that are acquired, and emphasizes how the brain constructs our sensory experiences. Several distinctive features separate this research from other publications. First, the book opens with a review of how the historical literature is still etched into the ideas we employ to explain elements across the interdisciplinary fields of art, aesthetics, our sensory experience, psychology, cognition, and well-being. Second, the research adopts a humanistic rather than a philosophical or social science perspective in demonstrating the value of coupling anatomy and physiology with the natural and social environment. In this, artists from all genres are incorporated. Among them are Iris Murdoch, Ludwig van Beethoven, Leonardo da Vinci, Cristoforo de Predis, Rembrandt, Federico Fellini, Chuck Close, and David Hockney. Case studies demonstrate how neuroscientific research meshes with art, individual, and cultural variables in ways that range from health and well-being to physiological decline and biological traumas. These include a case study that examines how Oliver Sacks combined biology and biography in his writings. It also explores art projects in several genres inspired by his studies. Another case study is on the role of film as a useful clinical tool. Here the book also demonstrates that cinematic devices used by filmmakers intersect with perceptual and cognitive neuroscience. A defining feature of the analysis is the integration of research on brain injuries with humanistic responses in film, literature, and the visual arts. This section outlines the lack of consensus regarding the causes and treatment of “shell shock” in World War I before introducing how research and art now work with PTSD/TBI. Finally, the book examines therapeutic cases of professional and non-professional artists, concluding with a discussion of synesthesia and the senses.
Neuroscience and Education: A Philosophical Appraisal (Routledge International Studies in the Philosophy of Education)
by Clarence W. JoldersmaThis volume makes a philosophical contribution to the application of neuroscience in education. It frames neuroscience research in novel ways around educational conceptualizing and practices, while also taking a critical look at conceptual problems in neuroeducation and at the economic reasons driving the mind-brain education movement. It offers alternative approaches for situating neuroscience in educational research and practice, including non-reductionist models drawing from Dewey and phenomenological philosophers such as Martin Heidegger and Merleau-Ponty. The volume gathers together an international bevy of leading philosophers of education who are in a unique position to contribute conceptually rich and theoretically framed insight on these new developments. The essays form an emerging dialogue to be used within philosophy of education as well as neuroeducation, educational psychology, teacher education and curriculum studies.
Neuroscience and Multilingualism
by Edna AndrewsHow are languages represented in the human brain? Ideas from neuroscience have increasingly been applied to the study of language, exploring the neural processes involved in acquisition, maintenance and loss of language and languages, and the interaction between languages in bi- and multilingual speakers. With a sharp focus on multilingualism, this culmination of cutting-edge research sheds light on this challenging question. Using data from a variety of experiments, this is the first book length study to offer a new neuroscientific model for analysing multilingualism. Alongside a comprehensive analysis of the theoretical and experimental contributions to the field, it presents new data and analysis obtained from a multilingualism fMRI study. It also includes a unique longitudinal study of second and third language acquisition combined with extensive empirically valid language proficiency data of the subjects. A must-read for researchers and advanced students interested in neurolinguistics, second language acquisition, and bi- and multilingualism.
Neuroscience and Philosophy
by Felipe De Brigard and Walter Sinnott-ArmstrongPhilosophers and neuroscientists address central issues in both fields, including morality, action, mental illness, consciousness, perception, and memory. Philosophers and neuroscientists grapple with the same profound questions involving consciousness, perception, behavior, and moral judgment, but only recently have the two disciplines begun to work together. This volume offers fourteen original chapters that address these issues, each written by a team that includes at least one philosopher and one neuroscientist who integrate disciplinary perspectives and reflect the latest research in both fields. Topics include morality, empathy, agency, the self, mental illness, neuroprediction, optogenetics, pain, vision, consciousness, memory, concepts, mind wandering, and the neural basis of psychological categories. The chapters first address basic issues about our social and moral lives: how we decide to act and ought to act toward each other, how we understand each other&’s mental states and selves, and how we deal with pressing social problems regarding crime and mental or brain health. The following chapters consider basic issues about our mental lives: how we classify and recall what we experience, how we see and feel objects in the world, how we ponder plans and alternatives, and how our brains make us conscious and create specific mental states.
Neuroscience and Philosophy: Brain, Mind, and Language
by Peter Hacker Daniel Dennett John Searle Maxwell BennettIn Neuroscience and Philosophy, three prominent philosophers and a leading neuroscientist clash over the conceptual presuppositions of cognitive neuroscience. The book begins with an excerpt from Maxwell Bennett and Peter Hacker's Philosophical Foundations of Neuroscience (Blackwell, 2003), which questions the conceptual commitments of cognitive neuroscientists. Their position is then criticized by Daniel Dennett and John Searle, two philosophers who have written extensively on the subject, and Bennett and Hacker in turn respond. Their impassioned debate encompasses a wide range of central themes: the nature of consciousness, the bearer and location of psychological attributes, the intelligibility of so-called brain maps and representations, the notion of qualia, the coherence of the notion of an intentional stance, and the relationships between mind, brain, and body. Clearly argued and thoroughly engaging, the authors present fundamentally different conceptions of philosophical method, cognitive-neuroscientific explanation, and human nature, and their exchange will appeal to anyone interested in the relation of mind to brain, of psychology to neuroscience, of causal to rational explanation, and of consciousness to self-consciousness.In his conclusion Daniel Robinson (member of the philosophy faculty at Oxford University and Distinguished Professor Emeritus at Georgetown University) explains why this confrontation is so crucial to the understanding of neuroscientific research. The project of cognitive neuroscience, he asserts, depends on the incorporation of human nature into the framework of science itself. In Robinson's estimation, Dennett and Searle fail to support this undertaking; Bennett and Hacker suggest that the project itself might be based on a conceptual mistake. Exciting and challenging, Neuroscience and Philosophy is an exceptional introduction to the philosophical problems raised by cognitive neuroscience.
Neuroscience and Society (Frontiers in Neuroscience)
by Sukumar Vijayaraghavan Gidon FelsenAdvances in neuroscience research are rapidly redefining what it means to be human. The absence of the brain/mind dichotomy has, in turn, removed the separation between our brain biology and our sociocultural experiences, raising questions for social sciences to address. How responsible are we, as individuals, for our actions? Do we have free will? Is it ethical for us to peer into others’ brains? How are our collective social cultural norms influenced by our brain function? At the same time, neuroscientists need to develop better intuition about the ethical, legal, and social implications of their research. Close collaboration between neuroscience and social sciences is the best way forward.This book acts as an introduction to these and other issues that lie at the interface of neuroscience and social sciences, using the physiological underpinnings of our decision-making processes as a framework. Examples of topics addressed here are:• Neuroscience and economics• Neuroscience and law• Neuroscience and ethics• Neuroscience and mental health• Neuroscience of religion and humourThe book is intended for students of neuroscience and social sciences, as well as readers generally interested in the human condition. It is hoped that the book will stimulate cross-disciplinary thinking and inspire a new generation of thinkers who are willing to look at both social sciences and neuroscience research with a different lens. Such bridge builders will be the pioneers of the next level of interrogation at this emerging interface.Dr. Sukumar Vijayaraghavan is a neuroscientist and professor at the Department of Physiology and Biophysics, University of Colorado, School of Medicine. He has wide-ranging interests from synaptic transmission, olfaction, and drug addiction to graduate education and the interaction between neuroscience and social sciences.Dr. Gidon Felsen is a professor in the Department of Physiology and Biophysics at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. His research focuses on the neural mechanisms of decisions and actions under normal and pathological conditions and on how neuroscience can inform societally relevant questions
Neuroscience and the Future of Chemical-Biological Weapons
by Malcolm DandoThis study is concerned with the potential misuse of advances in neuroscience. Recently, fears surrounding the abuse of benignly-intended research in the life sciences – the dual-use problem – have focused on 'Gain-of Function' experiments, in which deadly influenza viruses have been made transmissible through the air. However, many other aspects of the life sciences, besides the study of viruses, could be subject to hostile misuse. There is a century-long history of the development of novel neuroweapons, which is based on civil research and a vast, ongoing increase in research funding. These developments underpin an attempt to produce a mechanistic understanding of brain functions, which risk being subjected to misuse in the future. This study does not propose that this benignly-intended work be reined in, nor suggest that neuroscientists bear the sole responsibility for preventing the misuse of their work. However, they remain inextricably involved and should, one could argue, assume a certain level of accountability. Thus, this book sheds light on how they, and international security specialists, can work to bolster efforts to minimise the potential for misuse of modern neuroscience research.
Neuroscience and the Problem of Dual Use: Neuroethics in the New Brain Research Projects (Advanced Sciences and Technologies for Security Applications)
by Malcolm R. DandoThis book discusses recent brain research and the potentially dangerous dual-use applications of the findings of these research projects. The book is divided into three sections: Part I examines the rise in dual-use concerns within various state’s chemical and biological non-proliferation regime’s during this century, as well as the rapid technologically driven advances in neuroscience and the associated possible misuse considerations in the same period. Part II reviews the brain research projects in the EU, USA, Japan, China and several other countries with regard to their objectives, achievements and measures to deal with the problem of dual-use. Part III assesses the extent to which the results of this civil neuroscience work, which is intended to be benign, are being, and could be protected against future hostile applications in the development of novel chemical and biological weapons.
Neuroscience for Clinicians
by C. Alexander Simpkins Annellen M. SimpkinsThis book fills the need for an introductory text that opens the field up to the beginner and takes them to higher-level thinking about neuroscience. Neuroscience has captured the interest of students, professionals, and the general public. In fact it is so new, that there are very few books that gather it together in one text. Neuroscience is an amalgamation of many fields: psychology, cognitive science, chemistry, biology, engineering, philosophy, mathematics, and statistics. People who are new to the discipline have to be able to find their way through all of these fields together. In addition, they need to understand the highly technical lexicon, modeling methods, and theoretical assumptions used to describe brain structure, function, and the interaction between them. This book helps readers navigate the conventions used to describe the brain that developed through the years. The authors crystallize the complex modeling methods and technologies so that readers understand what they are saying and how to use them. They address the important underlying principles and important issues of neuroscience, with the debates and discussions that are ongoing as the field evolves. They also include many salient fine-grained details so that the book is not just an overview, but also a useful guide for many levels of readers.
