For undergraduate or graduate courses, Neuroanatomy and Neurophysiology for Speech and Hearing Sciences, Second Edition provides a thorough yet readable examination of the neuroanatomical underpinnings within communication sciences and disorders. Each chapter begins with clear learning outcomes and a concise overview that sets the context, helping students understand the relevance and importance of the material. Additionally, each chapter ends with a number of clinical cases intended to prime the student's problem-solving clinical skills in their future profession. The text comes with the Neuroquest study software that includes visual and interactive lessons. Use of quizzes and testing helps the student review the content, solidifying the concepts from the text.
After an introduction to the field and to anatomical concepts, the text takes the student from discussion of neurons and other basic components to examination of basic reflexes and sensorimotor integration. The following chapters focus on the cerebral cortex and its function, particularly as related to neurophysiology of speech and hearing. The next section of the text discusses subcortical structures, the brainstem, cranial nerves, cerebellum, and pathways. The subsequent chapters include discussion of neural control of speech and swallowing and the anatomy and physiology of hearing. The chapter on prenatal and postnatal development and aging of the brain and hearing mechanism explores the neurophysiological elements that contribute to changes in speech and hearing that are seen throughout the lifetime. The final chapter examines large brain networks and neural plasticity of the systems of speech, language, and hearing.
