The Roots of Cognitive Neuroscience: Behavioral Neurology and Neuropsychology

Anjan Chatterjee, MD, is Professor of Neurology at the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Chatterjee is a cognitive neurologist who has published widely on visual-spatial and temporal cognition, language, aesthetics and ethics. His work encompasses research with focally brain-damaged patients as well as functional neuroimaging of normal healthy subjects. He directs the Behavoral/Cognitive Neurology course at the American Academy of Neurology annual meeting, and has alsoserved the field through membership on NIH study sections and as a question writer for Part IIB of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology.

Dr. H. Branch Coslett, MD, is Professor of Neurology at the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Coslett is a cognitive neurologist who has published widely on visual attention, the neglect syndrome, motor imagery and motor planning, temporal cognition and language. He has worked with patients with focal brain lesions, traumatic brain injury and degenerative conditions of the brain. He also employs Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation; he directs the Laboratory for Cognition and Neural Stimulation at
the University of Pennsylvania.

The Roots of Cognitive Neuroscience examines the way brain damage can impair our cognitive and emotional systems. In chapters that range from examining memory and language to emotions and creativity, this book demonstrates that behavioral neurology and neuropsychology are just as relevant today as these research strategies were 150 years ago.
