Wired for Words: The Neural Architecture of Language

June 22, 2026 01:49 PM
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?

Foundations of Speech and Hearing: Anatomy and Physiology, Third Edition

May 27, 2026 09:14 AM
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.

The Oxford Handbook of Communication Disorders in Neurodegenerative Diseases

May 27, 2026 09:11 AM
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.
