商品簡介
Thirteen papers by US specialists not only address the specifics of neurological assessment of cognitive and psychomotor problems in medical disorders, but also highlight the important role that neuropsychologists can play in a multidisciplinary approach to patient diagnosis and rehabilitation. The editors also call for a greater emphasis on pathophysiology in neuropsychology training programs. Topics reviewed include new approaches to studying Alzheimer's disease; neuropsychological aspects of cardiovascular, renal, thyroid, and systemic autoimmune disease (lupus and Sj÷gren's, but not chronic fatigue syndrome); gonadal steroids and cognition; sequelae associated with exposure to chemicals (with summary charts of clinical and field studies); sleep disorders; and neurobehavioral complications of HIV infection. Includes MRI and CT scan images. The editors are with the U. of Pittsburgh. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
