    Bryan Kolb Bryan Kolb received his Ph.D. from The Pennsylvania State University and con-ducted postdoctoral work at the University of Western Ontario and the Montreal Neurological Institute. In 1976, he moved to the University of Lethbridge, Alberta, where he is a professor of neuroscience. His current research examines how pre-conception and perinatal factors — including tactile stimulation, psychoactive drugs, stress, noise, and injury — modify the developing cerebral cortex and how these changes are related to behavior. Kolb is a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada; the Canadian Psychological Association (CPA); the Canadian Society for Brain, Behaviour, and Cognitive Science (CSBBCS); the American Psychological Associa-tion; and the Association of Psychological Science. Currently a fellow of the Child Brain Development program of the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research, he is a recipient of the Hebb Prize from the CPA and CSBBCS. He has received honor-ary doctorates from the University of British Columbia, Thompson Rivers Univer-sity, Concordia University, and the University of Lethbridge. He is a recipient of the Ingrid Speaker Gold Medal for research, the distinguished teaching medal from the University of Lethbridge, and the Key to the City of Lethbridge. In 2017, he was appointed as an Officer of the Order of Canada. He and his wife train and show horses in Western riding performance events.

Achieve - Help students get better results.

Built around the most common issues faced in the classroom, Achieve gives students a complete e-book with all interactive features. For instructors, Achieve offers everything they need to quickly set up a course, customize content for your syllabus, create presentations and lectures, assign and assess readings and activities, and guide the progress of individual students and the class as a whole.

IN THE TEXTBOOK

Updated throughout
with recent research on neural networks, particularly reflected in greater emphasis on network analysis in the Part II: Cortical Functions chapters, including revised part structure.

Part IV: Higher Function chapters heavily revised, with updated research and case studies, particularly in the areas of plasticity and neurological and psychiatric disorders.

Significantly revised coverage of asymmetry (Chapters 11-12) to reflect contemporary understanding.

GO DIGITAL WITH ACHIEVE
The gold standard in neuropsychology education

With Macmillan’s superior content delivered by Achieve (a first for this title),  Fundamentals of Human Neuropsychology continues to keep pace with its dynamic field, just as it has done throughout its nearly four decades of publication. As they have done since the first edition, the authors draw on recent research and their own clinical and lab experience to guide their development of the content, and on their experience in the classroom to help hone the presentation in a way that is both 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 Achieve, an all-in-one solution for online teaching and learning, featuring the complete e-textbook, interactive student resources,  and assessment tools.
