It covers a range of well-known cases, including Roald Dahl, James Brady and Walter Freeman to give insights into a variety of neurotraumas, from aphasia and amnesia to lobotomy and mercury toxicity. Cases are connected to clinical research methods, exploring how these methods have changed over time and illustrating how these cases are still relevant as we continue to learn about recovery from brain and spinal cord injuries. Focusing on individuals who survived their injuries beyond the acute phase, the book highlights the long-term behavioral effects of the injuries and provides estimates for prognoses and recovery pathways in acknowledgement of naturally occurring neuroregeneration. With helpful key term definitions, Matyas distinguishes fact from fiction to give an accurate account of a wide spectrum of cases and highlight what we can learn from them. Famous Case Histories in Neurotrauma is valuable reading for students in behavioral neuroscience, clinical neuropsychology and related fields"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Nervous system $x Wounds and injuries $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Nervous system $x Rehabilitation $x Patients $x Rehabilitation $v Case studies. 655 7 $a Case studies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423765 776 08 $i Online version: $a Matyas, Jessica. $t Famous case histories in neurotrauma $d New York, NY : Routledge, 2021 $z 9781003008798 $w (DLC) 2020014275 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20220706013431.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5AF5C578F4E911EBA186761358ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
