Beschreibung:
"The present volume not only provides a comprehensive guide to the state-of-the-art in research on neurobiology but also frames the major debates of our time in psychology and neuroscience more broadly. To what extent is the mind/brain embodied? What is the nature of neural computation? How do apparently diverse brain systems - perception, action, memory, attention - interact? Are they really as diverse as we once thought? How do neural systems break down and can they be repaired?"--
Neurobiology of Language explores the study of language, a field that has seen tremendous progress in the last two decades. Key to this progress is the accelerating trend toward integration of neurobiological approaches with the more established understanding of language within cognitive psychology, computer science, and linguistics. This volume serves as the definitive reference on the neurobiology of language, bringing these various advances together into a single volume of 100 concise entries. The organization includes sections on the field's major subfields, with each section covering both empirical data and theoretical perspectives. "Foundational" neurobiological coverage is also provided, including neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, genetics, linguistic, and psycholinguistic data, and models. * Foundational reference for the current state of the field of the neurobiology of language* Enables brain and language researchers and students to remain up-to-date in this fast-moving field that crosses many disciplinary and subdisciplinary boundaries* Provides an accessible entry point for other scientists interested in the area, but not actively working in it - e.g., speech therapists, neurologists, and cognitive psychologists* Chapters authored by world leaders in the field - the broadest, most expert coverage available
