Overview

Fundamentals of Human Neuropsychology continues to keep pace with its dynamic field. As they have done since the first edition, the authors draw on recent research and their own clinical and lab experience to ensure the textbook is fully up-to-date. They explore all the key topics in a way that is accessible and engaging to students. Coverage includes recent developments in network analysis, neural imaging, and genetic research-particularly in terms of the impact on our understanding and assessment of brain injury and disorders. And for the first time, the book has its own dedicated version of LaunchPad, an all-in-one solution for online teaching and learning, featuring the complete e-book, interactive student resources, and assessment tools.
