Neuroimaging
A Window to the Neurological Foundations of Learning and Behavior in Children
Edited by G. Reid Lyon, Ph.D., & Judith M. Rumsey, Ph.D.
| "All scientists with interests in functional brain activity, whether in normal humans or those affected by disease, should find this [book] highly useful." —Perceptual and Motor Skills
"Lyon's thorough and seamless presentation could stand alone as an excellent introduction to neuropsychology for both graduate students and professionals." — Contemporary Psychology |
Accessible and comprehensive, this text is written for professionals — with or without a medical background — who want to learn more about the practical and developmental applications of neuroimaging. Beginning with easy-to-understand discussions of neuroanatomy and neurophysiology, the authors explore the relationship among brain structure, function, and individual differences in learning and behavior.
Brilliant full-color scans illustrate theoretical and methodological discussions of diverse neuroimaging techniques and their applications to developmental disorders in children. Psychologists, general and special educators, speech-language pathologists, occupational and physical therapists, students, and medical professionals will benefit from this revealing volume. |
