  • The only edited volume explicitly dedicated to the translational neuroscience of speech and language disorders
  • Explicit distinction between acquired and neurodevelopmental disorders, given the substantial differences with respect to neuroplasticity and reorganization
  • Broad range of disorders discussed in the light of translational neuroscience, extending well beyond aphasia (including dysarthria, verbal dyspraxia, anomia, dyslexia, and pragmatic communication disorders)

About this book

This book provides the first presentation of the state-of-the-art in the application of modern Neuroscience research in predicting, preventing and alleviating the negative sequelae of neurodevelopmental, acquired, or neurodegenerative brain abnormalities on speech and language. To this end, this edited volume brings together contributions from several leading experts in a markedly broad range of disciplines, comprising Neurology, Neurosurgery, Genetics, Engineering, Neuroimaging and Neurostimulation, Neuropsychology, and Speech and Language Therapy.
