Functional Neuroanatomy and Clinical Neuroscience: A Comprehensive Guide for Non-Physician Healthcare Professionals

As a non-physician healthcare professional working in the field of neurology, developing a strong command of functional neuroanatomy and clinical neuroscience can be a significant challenge. However, with “Functional Neuroanatomy and Clinical Neuroscience” by Suzan Uysal, you can fill this knowledge gap and improve your understanding of brain function and behavior.

This comprehensive guide is specifically designed for clinical neuropsychology students, early career neuropsychologists, and other non-physician healthcare professionals who work with patients with brain diseases or injuries. By interleaving discussions of functional neuroanatomy, clinical neuroscience, and disorders of the human central nervous system with rich descriptions of neurocognitive and neurobehavioral syndromes, Suzan Uysal provides a unique and comprehensive approach to understanding the complexities of brain function.

The book is organized hierarchically, allowing readers to build a strong clinical knowledge base from more basic neuroscience concepts. It progresses from functional neuroanatomy of brain structures and associated clinical syndromes, to common neuropathologies, and finally to domain-specific syndromes. The book concludes with concise descriptions of clinical assessment and neuroimaging methods, providing a complete understanding of clinical aspects of brain function in adults.

With its focus on disorders of human cognition and behavior, this book is an essential reference for non-physician healthcare professionals working in neurology. By covering challenging yet essential material in an accessible manner, “Functional Neuroanatomy and Clinical Neuroscience” is the perfect resource for anyone looking to improve their understanding of brain function and behavior.
