The Invisible Brain Injury Cognitive Impairments in Traumatic Brain Injury Stroke and other Acquired Brain Pathologies

The Invisible Brain Injury Cognitive Impairments in Traumatic Brain Injury Stroke and other Acquired Brain Pathologies

The Invisible Brain Injury recounts in her own words the experience of Aurora Lassaletta a clinical psychologist who suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI) after a traffic accident. Presenting her unique dual perspective as both a patient and a clinician Aurora highlights the less visible cognitive emotional and behavioural symptoms common to acquired brain injury (ABI). This moving account showcases Aurora’s growing awareness of her impairments their manifestation in daily life how they are perceived or not by others and the tools that helped her survive. Each chapter combines Aurora’s perspective with the scientific view of a professional neuropsychologist or physiatrist who provide commentaries on her various symptoms. This book is valuable reading for professionals involved in neurorehabilitation and clinical neuropsychology and for clinical psychology students. It is a must read for ABI survivors those around them and clinicians who are all an essential part of the rehabilitation adjustment and acceptance process involved with ABI. | The Invisible Brain Injury Cognitive Impairments in Traumatic Brain Injury Stroke and other Acquired Brain Pathologies

Brain Art and Neuroscience Neurosensuality and Affective Realism

Brain Art and Neuroscience Neurosensuality and Affective Realism

The first of its kind this book examines artistic representations of the brain after the rise of the contemporary neurosciences examining the interplay of art and science and tackling some of the critical-cultural implications. Weaving an MRI pattern onto a family quilt. Scanning the brain of a philosopher contemplating her own death and hanging it in a museum. Is this art or science or something in-between? What does it mean? How might we respond? In this ground-breaking new book David R. Gruber explores the seductive and influential position of the neurosciences amid a growing interest in affect and materiality as manifest in artistic representations of the human brain. Contributing to debates surrounding the value and/or purpose of interdisciplinary engagement happening in the neuro-humanities Gruber emphasizes the need for critical-cultural analysis within the field. Engaging with New Materialism and Affect Theory the book provides a current and concrete example of the on-going shift away from constructivist lenses arguing that the influence of relatively new neuroscience methods (EEG MRI and fMRI) on the visual arts has not yet been fully realised. In fact the very idea of a brain as it is seen and encountered today—or The Brain as Gruber calls it—remains in need of critical wild and rebellious re-imagination. Illuminating how artistic engagement with the brain is often sensual and suggestive even if rooted in objectivist impulses and tied to scientific realism this book is ideal for scholars in Art Media Studies Sociology and English departments as well visual artists and anyone seriously engaging discourses of the brain. | Brain Art and Neuroscience Neurosensuality and Affective Realism

Brain and Mind

Brain and Mind

The relationship between brain and mind is one of the most baffling problems in science but potentially one of the most interesting. First published in 1985 this collection of original essays traces the development of mind in animals and human beings from its origins in the evolution of larger brains with a capacity for creating mental models of the environment. Examples are given of the way in which the brain may use this increased capacity to represent both the physical and social worlds and the authors suggest that this type of mental activity might underly what human beings recognize in themselves as ‘awareness’ or ‘consciousness’. Brain and Mind brings together much of the latest research and provides a useful framework for the study of this increasingly important subject. The contributors are experts in a wide range of disciplines and draw their conclusions from a broad base of clinical and experimental evidence. Students of psychology zoology anatomy medicine and philosophy as well as anyone who has wondered about their own mind and its relation to the brain will find this a fascinating and stimulating source.

The Brain Code Mechanisms of Information Transfer and the Role of the Corpus Callosum

The Brain Code Mechanisms of Information Transfer and the Role of the Corpus Callosum

Originally published in 1986 this stimulating and unorthodox book integrates the major findings of hemispheric research with the larger questions of how the brain stores and transmits information – the ‘brain code’. Norman Cook emphasizes how the two cerebral hemispheres communicate information over the corpus callosum the largest single nerve tract of the human brain. Excitatory mechanisms are involved in the duplication of information between the hemispheres; in contrast inhibitory mechanisms are implicated in the production of hemispheric asymmetries and crucially in high-level cognitive phenomena such as the right hemisphere’s role in providing the ‘context’ within which left hemispheric verbal information is placed. These callosal mechanisms of information transfer are not only fundamental to the brain code; they are the simplest and most easily demonstrated ways in which the neocortex ‘talks to itself’. The Brain Code demonstrates how popular topics within psychology at the time such as laterality hemisphere differences and the psychology of left and right are central to further progress in understanding the human brain. This book provides stimulating reading for students of psychology artificial intelligence and neurophysiology as well as anyone interested in the broader question of how the brain works. | The Brain Code Mechanisms of Information Transfer and the Role of the Corpus Callosum

Evolution of Brain and Behavior in Vertebrates

Evolution of Brain and Behavior in Vertebrates

Originally published in 1976 the object of this volume was to present a relatively up-to-date overview of what was known what was suspected and what remained to be discovered concerning the general question of the evolution of the vertebrate brain and behaviour and to present a list of references for those who wanted to delve deeper into one or another aspect of the problem. Accordingly it contains chapters by palaeontologists sensory morphologists and physiologists comparative neurologists and comparative psychologists. The chapters are arranged in a sequence loosely approximating the order in which the various animals brain structures or behaviour first appeared. Therefore the chapters fall naturally into sections each section directed to a group of vertebrates beginning with those which have very remote common ancestry and progressing to those with more recent common ancestry with mankind. | Evolution of Brain and Behavior in Vertebrates
