Neuroscience Fundamentals for Communication Sciences and Disorders by
Neuroscience Fundamentals for Communication Sciences and Disorders is a comprehensive textbook designed for undergraduate neural bases or graduate neuroscience courses in communication sciences and disorders programs (CSD). Written with a fresh user-friendly conversational style and complemented by more than 350 visually rich and beautifully drawn full-color illustrations, this book emphasizes brain and behavior relationships while also ensuring coverage of essential neuroanatomy in an integrative fashion. With a comprehensive background in neuroscience fundamentals, students will be able to better understand and apply brain-behavior relationships to make appropriate clinical assessments and treatment decisions. Neuroscience Fundamentals for Communication Sciences and Disorders is designed to provide CSD students with a broad overview of the principles, processes, and structures underlying the workings of the human nervous system. Extending well beyond traditional neuroanatomy-based textbooks, this publication is designed to satisfy three major goals: Provide neuroanatomical and neurophysiological detail that meets the real-world needs of the contemporary CSD student, as they move forward toward clinical practice, and into the future where advancements in the field of health and brain sciences are accelerating and contributing more and more to rehabilitation. Provide clear, understandable explanations and intuitive material that explains how and why neuroanatomical systems, processes, and mechanisms of the nervous system operate as they do during human behavior. Provide a depth and scope of material that will allow students to read, better understand, and appreciate a wide range of evidence-based literature related to behavior, cognition, emotion, language, and sensory perception--areas that directly impact treatment decisions. Key Features: An emphasis on fundamental information on neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, and functional processes using an analogy-driven and relaxed conversational writing style. More than 350 new and beautifully illustrated full-color neuroanatomical and neurophysiological figures that work to bring the written material to life. Content is divided into four major sections that build upon each other to foster a comprehensive understanding of the nervous system from the cellular to systems. Three summary chapters on the neural bases of speech, language, and hearing that help integrate the basic information from earlier chapters with content specific to CSD. Each chapter begins with an introduction and learning objectives and ends with a top ten summary list of key take-home concepts and study review questions. Bolded key terms throughout with a comprehensive glossary of definitions. Clinical Importance boxes highlight clinically relevant disorders and syndromes that compliment topic coverage. Further Interest boxes highlight interesting and exciting facts about the nervous system's structure, physiology, and functionality.

Writing and Evaluating Scientific Research in Communication Sciences and Disorders by
Writing Scientific Research in Communication Sciences and Disorders is a comprehensive guide to the preparation and publication of research papers for researchers in communication sciences and disorders. Individual chapters address the structure, content and style of the Introduction, Method, Results, and Discussion sections. The balance of the text is taken up with the writing process, including the nuts and bolts of preparing tables and graphs, detailed discussion of different voices and grammar issues, how to edit your own work, how to work with editors and peer reviewers, and how to get started and be a productive writer. Each topic is illustrated with informative examples, with a clear, direct, and often humorous discussion of what makes them good or bad. Writing is essential in nearly every profession and particularly in communication disorders and sciences, where researchers must be able to express complex ideas to a variety of audiences, from colleagues to members of health care teams to clients and family members. This is why competence in written expression is required for certification and entry into clinical practice in communication disorders and sciences. Writing Scientific Research in Communication Sciences and Disorders will be a valuable supplementary text for undergraduate and graduate students in courses that include writing assignments and critical assessment of research literature, such as research methods and evidence-based clinical methods courses, as well as in thesis and dissertation preparation. Researchers looking for a guide to help them improve their own writing will find it an invaluable resource to answer the big and little questions that constantly arise in preparing manuscripts.
