For undergraduate or graduate courses, Neuroanatomy and Neurophysiology for Speech and Hearing Sciences, Second Edition provides a thorough yet readable examination of the neuroanatomical underpinnings within communication sciences and disorders. Each chapter begins with detailed learning outcomes and also sets the context for the content in understandable terms, providing the student with an understanding of the importance of knowing the material. Additionally, each chapter ends with a number of clinical cases intended to prime the student's problem-solving clinical skills in his or her future profession. The text also includes the Neuroquest study software designed to aid students in learning about the structure and function of the brain. After introduction to the field and to anatomical concepts, the text takes the student from discussion of neurons and other basic components to examination of basic reflexes and sensorimotor integration. The following chapters focus on the cerebral cortex and its function, particularly as related to neurophysiology of speech and hearing. The next section of the text discusses subcortical structures, the brainstem, cranial nerves, cerebellum and pathways. The subsequent chapters include discussion of neural control of speech and swallowing and the anatomy and physiology of hearing. Prenatal and postnatal development and aging of the brain and hearing mechanism provide the evidence for changes that occur through life to the neurophysiology of communication. The final chapter examines Large Brain Networks and neural plasticity of the systems of speech, language, and hearing.NeuroquestThe Neuroquest study software includes visual and interactive lessons. Use of quizzes and testing helps the student review the content, solidifying the concepts from the text.New to the Second EditionNew original artwork presented in full-colorA chapter dedicated to the auditory mechanism and auditory pathwaysA chapter discussion prenatal and postnatal development of the brain and auditory mechanisms, as well as effects of aging on these systemsA chapter that examines Large Brain Networks and neural plasticity as related to speech, language, and hearingNew Neuroquest lessons illustrating the concepts of development and aging, auditory physiology, and Large Brain NetworksNew illustrative case studiesKey FeaturesMore than 92 tables that provide succinct depth and detail to the content29 neurological fully-annotated case studies with SLP diagnostic information, as well as 6 cases from neurosurgeons that include MRI and/or video59 boxed notes give informative and fascinating support to the content, including focus on neuroscience as it relates to speech-language pathology and audiologyCoverage of the neurophysiology of swallowingDetailed discussion of auditory pathway and signal analysisDiscussion of changes that occur to our neurophysiology during postnatal development and agingPlacing neurophysiology of Communication Sciences within the context of Large Brain NetworksClearly written with abundant supporting citationsKey terms are highlighted throughout the text and included in a glossaryListing of Abbreviations for each chapterPluralPlus Online AncillariesFor instructors: PowerPoint Slides, Image Bank, Software ProgramFor students: Test Bank, Quizzes, Software Program

Mer om författaren

J. Anthony (Tony) Seikel, PhD, is emeritus faculty at Idaho State University, where he taught graduate and undergraduate coursework in neuroanatomy and neuropathology over the course of his career in Communication Sciences and Disorders. He is co-author of numerous chapters, books and research publications in the fields of speech-language pathology and audiology. His current research is examining the relationship between orofacial myofunctional disorders and oropharyngeal dysphagia.Kostas Konstantopoulos, PhD, is assistant professor in the speech language pathology program at the European University Cyprus and serves as a program coordinator for the master's degree in speech language pathology. From 1996 to 2018 he has worked as a clinician in various neurology departments in Greece and Cyprus including the Navy Hospital of Athens and the Cyprus Institute for Neurology and Genetics. Dr. Konstantopoulos's research involves motor speech disorders and the relationship between speech and cognition.David G. Drumright, BS, grew up in Oklahoma and Kansas, taught electronics at DeVry for several years, then spent 20 years as a technician in acoustics and speech research. He developed many programs and devices for analysis and instruction in acoustics and speech/hearing. He has been semi-retired since 2002, working on graphics and programming for courseware.
