This book provides comprehensive coverage of speech and languagedisorders arising from pathological processes involving thesubcortical structures of the brain. It gives an understanding ofthese disorders in terms of their neuropathological basis, clinicalsymptomatology and prognosis. A full discussion of contemporarymodels and theories of subcortical participation in speech andlanguage processing is given, including discussion of the possibleroles of structures such as the basal ganglia, subthalamic nucleus,thalamus and cerebellum.
The book covers speech and language disorders associated with avariety of subcortical conditions, ranging from major degenerativeconditions such as Parkinsons' Disease, Huntington'schorea and dystonia, through to acquired non-degenerativesubcortical lesions arising from, for example, cerebrovascularaccidents and sterotactic surgically induced lesions.
