The comprehensive and easily readable Neuroanatomy and Neurophysiology for Speech and Hearing Sciences offers an in-depth analysis of the neurological foundations of communication sciences and disorders .
The textbook is intended for use in graduate or undergraduate courses on the neurology of hearing and speech .
Every chapter starts with a clear explanation of the learning objectives and provides the student with a context for the information in easily understood terms, so they can see how important it is to know the topic
Study questions are also included at the end of each chapter to help with comprehension and reinforce the material
The text leads the learner from a study of neurons and other fundamental components to an investigation of basic reflexes and sensory integration after providing an introduction to the topic and anatomical concepts
The cerebral cortex and its role in the neurophysiology of speech and hearing are the main topics of the ensuing chapters
Subcortical structures , the brainstem , cranial nerves , the cerebellum , and pathways are covered in the following section of the text
The latter section of the text discusses swallowing and speech motor control
