| Abstract
|
:
|
The Paradoxical Brain focuses on a range of phenomena in clinical and cognitive neuroscience that are counterintuitive and go against the grain of established thinking. The book covers a wide range of topics by leading researchers, including: Superior performance after brain lesions or sensory loss Return to normal function after a second brain lesion in neurological conditions Paradoxical phenomena associated with human development Examples where having one disease appears to prevent the occurrence of another disease Situations where drugs with adverse effects on brain functioning may have beneficial effects in certain situations A better understanding of these interactions will lead to a better understanding of brain function and to the introduction of new therapeutic strategies. The book will be of interest to those working at the interface of brain and behaviour, including neuropsychologists, neurologists, psychiatrists and neuroscientists --Provided by publisher.
