Author Description

Paperback. Volume 4 consists of two sections. Section 7 (Topic Editor: R.D. Nebes) deals with the neurobehavioral sequelae of congenital and surgically induced lesions of the corpus callosum and hemispherectomy in animals and humans. The following section, Section 8 (Topic Editor: S. Corkin), deals with aging, age-related disorders and dementia. It covers the neuropsychology of aging in animals and humans; clinical and pathological correlates of dementia; as well as modern clinical and experimental techniques such as PET and NMR spectroscopy. Also included are chapters on psychiatric symptoms in dementia, sleep studies of demented patients, statistical considerations, and issues related to pharmacological therapy of dementia. Due to the considerable size of this section, only the first part is included in Volume 4. It will be continued in Volume 5.
