Neurology is considered to be the most challenging subject encountered by communicative sciences students, and this invaluable workbook presents concise coverage of essential principles ranging from the basic neuron to neuropathological conditions. Using an engaging, easy-to-understand approach, it provides a detailed picture of the nervous system - its anatomy, physiology, and pathology - as well as complete coverage of neurogenic communication disorders. The interactive format for each chapter includes a narrative review reinforced by questions that range from multiple choice, short answer, matching, and visual identification, to case study scenarios. This workbook can be paired with any textbook on neurology to help students to gain a solid understanding of applied neurology in the area of speech and hearing sciences. An excellent companion to the "Butterworth Heinemann title, Love: Neurology for the Speech Language Pathologist!"
