A critical synthesis of over 150 years of research on the brain's networks that enable us to communicate through language.The neural architecture of language has been a hotly debated topic in neurology, cognitive neuroscience, linguistics, and philosophy since the early 1800s. Is language separable from intelligence? Is it enabled by dedicated and localizable neural networks? Do we speak and understand with our left hemisphere? How did language emerge?

This handbook provides a synthesis of current communication disorders research in patients with a range of neurodegenerative conditions. Neurodegeneration is a rapidly evolving area of medical and health research; however, language and communication disorders have received much less attention than the pathophysiological processes of neurodegenerative diseases.

Clinical Neuroscience for Communication Disorders: Neuroanatomy and Neurophysiology, Second Edition offers a comprehensive and easy-to-understand introduction to neuroscience for undergraduates and beginning graduate students in the field of communication disorders. Designed with student learning in mind, this textbook introduces the neurologic underpinnings of systems involved in communication (speech, language, cognition, and hearing) and swallowing, from the nervous system to the anatomy of the head and neck.

This accessible and richly illustrated textbook covers the anatomy and physiology of speaking, hearing, and swallowing. Designed primarily for undergraduate students interested in pursuing careers in speech-language pathology, audiology, and speech and hearing sciences, it is written with clinical endpoints in mind and is neither oversimplified nor excessively detailed. The topics covered—including speaking and its subsystems (respiratory, laryngeal, velopharyngeal-nasal, and pharyngeal-oral), hearing and its subsystems (outer, middle, and inner ears), swallowing, and the nervous system—are those that are ultimately relevant to understanding, evaluating, and managing clients with communication and swallowing disorders.

This handbook synthesizes research on communication disorders in patients with neurodegenerative conditions, an area often overlooked despite these disorders being early signs of disease and major contributors to reduced quality of life. Covering conditions such as Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, and SARS-CoV-2-related neurodegeneration, it examines disease mechanisms, communication impairments, and clinical management, integrating research and speech-language pathology practice.

This book is about how to teach students with language impairments the skills, strategies, and underlying processes needed for educational success. It is primarily directed at speech-language pathologists (SLPs), but both regular and special education teachers should find helpful ideas for addressing oral and written language skills in their instructional settings.

Pediatric cochlear implants have greatly impacted deaf children, their families, and deaf education over the past 30 years. While some viewed implants as a near cure for deafness, others criticized them for undermining sign language and deaf culture. This book provides a balanced, research-based look at cochlear implants, exploring their benefits, limitations, and the complex factors that shape children’s experiences growing up with them.
