Glossary

Subject Index

Each chapter provides a detailed narrative of a specific case or condition relevant to the chapter topic, to give clinical context and motivate the student’s reading.
Snapshots within each chapter present emerging areas of research, innovative methods or research techniques, key areas of current study, and informative historical research related to specific discussions within the chapter. These articles allow the student to dig deeper, and get a more intuitive sense for how the body of knowledge around human neuropsychology develops.
Case Studies throughout the text document injury and impairment, including those drawn from the authors’ own clinical experience, to inform the discussion of neurological function and assessment.
Classroom experience informs the clear writing style making this title accessible to all students.

Informed by recent research on neural networks, chapters have been updated to remain current. This is particularly reflected in greater emphasis on network analysis in the Part II: Cortical Functions chapters, including revised part structure.
New research and case studies included in areas of plasticity and neurological and psychiatric disorders, incorporating these high interest topics.
Significantly revised coverage of asymmetry (Chapters 11-12) to reflect contemporary understanding and keep students up to date with this dynamic form.

Bryan Kolb

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.

Ian Q. Whishaw

Ian Q. Whishaw received his Ph.D. from Western University and is a professor of neuroscience at the University of Lethbridge. He has held visiting appointments at the University of Texas, the University of Michigan, the University of Cambridge, and the University of Strasbourg. He is a fellow of Clair Hall, Cambridge, the Canadian Psychological Association, the American Psychological Association, and the Royal Society of Canada. He is a recipient of the Canadian Humane Society Bronze Medal for bravery, the Ingrid Speaker Gold Medal for research, the dis-tinguished teaching medal from the University of Lethbridge, and the Donald O. Hebb Prize. He has received the Key to the City of Lethbridge and has honorary doctorates from the University of British Columbia, Thompson Rivers University, and the University of Lethbridge. His research addresses the evolution and neural basis of skilled movement and the neural basis of brain disease. The Institute for Sci-entific Information includes him in its list of most-cited neuroscientists. His hobby is training and showing horses for Western performance events.
