Neuroimaging in Neurogenic Communication Disorders: A Comprehensive Review

Edited by Kostas Konstantopoulos and Dimitrios Giakoumettis, this book provides an in-depth examination of the role of neuroimaging in the diagnosis and treatment of neurogenic communication disorders. By covering the fundamental principles of neuroanatomy and the medical conditions associated with these speech and language disorders, readers can gain a deeper understanding of the complex relationships between brain function and communication.

Understanding Neurogenic Communication Disorders

Neurogenic communication disorders are a result of damage to the central or peripheral nervous system, often caused by conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, stroke, dementia, traumatic brain injury, and brain tumors. These disorders can lead to various communication impairments, including aphasia, dysarthria, and apraxia, which can significantly impact an individual’s quality of life.

The Importance of Neuroimaging

In this comprehensive review, each case study is organized by anatomical entities involved in lesions and includes essential information on neuroanatomy, case presentation, neuroimaging, differential diagnosis, and final diagnosis. This unique approach allows readers to develop a nuanced understanding of the complex relationships between neuroanatomy, neuroimaging, and communication disorders.

Key Features

• Fully covers neuroimaging in acquired neurogenic communication disorders, including apraxia, dysarthria, and aphasia
• Provides a solid foundation in basic neuroanatomy as related to speech and pathology
• Includes cases organized by anatomical entities involved in lesions
