The Concise Encyclopedia of Brain and Language gathers into one volume a selection of articles from the recently published Encyclopedia of Language and Linguistics (2nd Edition), the Encyclopedia of the Neurological Sciences, the Encyclopedia of Neuroscience, the Encyclopedia of Gerontology and the Handbook of the Neuroscience of Language. The articles are broadly divided into 11 topics, listed here and outlined in greater detail immediately below: (1) functional and structural brain imaging of language, (2) hemispheric asymmetries and the lateralization of language, (3) disorders of language, (4) neurological symptoms and their language sequelae, (5) the auditory system, (6) testing, the assessment of language disorders, (7) the treatment and rehabilitation of persons with aphasia and cognitive disorders (8) recovery from aphasia and brain damage. The remaining three divisions broaden the scope of this collection of papers: (9) the principles of psycholinguistic analysis, essential for understanding language and language disorders, (10) normal brain processes that directly interact with the language system and (11) memory and memory disorders, understood since the 19th century to be inextricably bound up with language and language disorders.
