Neuroanatomy for Speech Language Pathology and Audiology 2nd edition (second edition)

About this book

Neuroanatomy for Speech Language Pathology and Audiology 2nd edition by Matthew H. Rouse explains the nervous system structures and pathways most directly related to communication, swallowing, hearing, and balance. The book connects neuroanatomy with speech-language pathology and audiology practice, helping students understand how lesions in specific regions can affect language, speech production, voice, swallowing, auditory processing, and vestibular function.

The 2nd edition covers the organization of the central and peripheral nervous systems, cerebral cortex, brainstem, cerebellum, spinal cord, cranial nerves, sensory and motor pathways, blood supply, and major neural networks involved in communication. It also examines cortical and subcortical language systems, motor control of speech, auditory pathways, vestibular pathways, and the neuroanatomical basis of disorders encountered in speech-language pathology and audiology.

This book is especially useful for Speech-Language Pathology Students, Audiology Students, Communication Sciences and Disorders Students, Speech and Hearing Science Students, Clinical Practicum Students, Graduate Students in SLP and Audiology Programs, and professionals reviewing the neural basis of communication and hearing disorders. It is particularly relevant for coursework involving aphasia, dysarthria, apraxia, dysphagia, auditory processing, hearing loss, and vestibular dysfunction.

SLP students, audiology students, communication sciences students, clinical trainees, and practicing speech and hearing professionals can use this edition to connect nervous system anatomy with assessment findings and clinical symptoms. The complete 2nd edition is available as a searchable PDF enhanced digital version with instant access, so you can begin studying immediately for neuroanatomy coursework, clinical practicum, exams, case review, or professional training.
