''Neuroanatomy and Neurophysiology for Speech and Hearing Sciences'' provides a thorough yet readable examination of the neuroanatomical underpinnings within communication sciences and disorders. The textbook is designed for undergraduate or graduate courses related to the neuroscience of speech and hearing. 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 study questions to reinforce the content and check comprehension.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 text culminates in discussion of motor control for speech and swallowing.'Key Features:*More than 175 images and photographs presented in full-color*More than 65 tables that provide succinct depth and detail to the content*16 neurological fully-annotated case studies with SLP diagnostic information, as well as 6 cases from neurosurgeons that include MRI and/or video*45 boxed notes give informative and fascinating support to the content, including focus on neuroscience as it relates to speech-language pathology and audiology*Coverage of the neurophysiology of swallowing*Detailed discussion of auditory pathway and signal analysis*Clearly written with abundant supporting citations*Key terms are highlighted throughout the text and included in a glossary*A PluralPlus companion website including Neuroquest animation software, online study materials, and PowerPoint lecture slides.Neuroquest:The Neuroquest study software delivers content in a form that is both accessible and meaningful to the student. Use of quizzes and testing helps the student review the content, solidifying the concepts from the text. The software provides an excellent study tool for the student, modeled after four other highly successful software tools developed for anatomy, physiology, and auditory physiology.

With many exciting enhancements and robust online resources, the seventh edition of Anatomy & Physiology for Speech, Language, and Hearing provides a solid foundation in anatomical and physiological principles relevant to the fields of speech-language pathology and audiology. The text is supported by an innovative study software program called ANAQUEST that includes interactive lessons, animations, and videos to further help students master the complex material.This bestselling text is organized around the five "classic" systems of speech, language and hearing: the respiratory, phonatory, articulatory/resonatory, nervous, and auditory systems. Integrating clinical information with everyday experiences to reveal how anatomy and physiology relate to the speech, language, and hearing systems, the text introduces all the essential anatomy and physiology information in a carefully structured way, helping students to steadily build their knowledge and successfully apply it to clinical practice. Hundreds of dynamic, full-color illustrations and online lessons make the complex material approachable even for students with little or no background in anatomy and physiology.Key Features560+ figures and tables provide visual examples of the anatomy, processes, body systems, and data discussed. Photographs of human specimens provide a real-life look at the body parts and functionsChapter pedagogy includes:Learning objectives, call outs to related ANAQUEST lessons, bolded key terms, and chapter summariesClinical notes boxes relate topics directly to clinical experience to emphasize the importance of anatomy in clinical practice Margin notes identify important terminology, root words, and definitions, that are highlighted in color throughout each chapter"To summarize" sections provide a succinct listing of the major topics covered in a chapter or chapter sectionMuscle tables describe the origin, course, insertion, innervation, and function of key muscles and muscle groups Glossary with 2,000+ terms and definitionsComprehensive bibliography in each chapter with 600+ references throughout the textMultiple online appendices include an alphabetical listing of anatomical terms, useful combining forms, and listings of sensors and cranial nervesNew to the Seventh EditionAddition of clinical cases related to neurophysiology and hearingRevised and updated physiology of swallowing includes discussion of postnatal development and aging effects of the swallowing mechanism and functionBrief discussion of the basics of genetics and trait transmissionOverview of prenatal development as it relates to the mechanisms of speech and hearingPresentation of prenatal and postnatal development for each of the systems of speech and hearing, as well as the effects of aging on each systemLearning objectives have been added to the beginning of each chapterChapter study questions have been moved online so students can take interactive quizzes with scoresThe helpful appendices moved online to reduce the length and weight of the print bookFor instructors, the test questions and slides have been updated and expandedThe ANAQUEST study software has been updated with new illustrations from the text, and lessons to match the content newly added to the bookPluralPlus Online AncillariesFor instructors:A version of the ANAQUEST software for upload to Learning Management Systems (LMS).PowerPoint slides for each chapterTest Bank with 1,000+ questions and answersClass activities and labsSample course syllabusVideosFor students:A student web-version of the ANAQUEST study softwareInteractive study quizzes for each chapterVideos
