Читать книгу Neurology - Charles H. Clarke - Страница 166

The cortical mantle is highly differentiated. A working knowledge of the cortex is essential, despite the availability of imaging. Beware theories that appear highly specific – the neural network concept is often a more accurate model than attempting to pinpoint a focal lesion – many functions depend upon interactions between cortex and subcortical structures. Here, I summarise some definitions of language disorders and introduce temporal lobe, frontal and parietal problems. There is overlap with Chapter 5 where memory and perception are addressed and common cortical disorders such as aphasia and dementia.
