New Book: Neural Modeling of Brain and Cognitive Disorders

[James A. Reggia]

NEURAL MODELING OF BRAIN AND COGNITIVE DISORDERS
edited by James A Reggia (Univ. Maryland), Eytan Ruppin (Tel Aviv Univ.) &
Rita Sloan Berndt (Univ. Maryland)

During the last few years there has been a rapidly increasing interest in
neural modeling of brain and cognitive disorders. This multidisciplinary
book presents a variety of such models in neurology, neuropsychology and
psychiatry. A review of work in this area is given first. Computational
models are then presented of memory impairment in Alzheimer's disease,
functional brain reorganization following a stroke, patterns of neural
activity in epilepsy, disruption of language processes in aphasia and
acquired dyslexia, altered cognitive processes in schizophrenia and
depression, and related disorders.
