The Neurology of Consciousness: Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuropathology

Posted on April 27, 2009 by Tim Titolo

The BIAA is having its annual conference in Las Vegas at the end of the month.  One of the featured speakers is Nathan Zasler.  Dr. Zasler just finished and book entitled The Neurology of Consciousness: Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuropathology.

This is a very welcome addition to the field of neuroscience literature and should be read by anyone involved in the care of persons with disorders of consciousness. The book starts with a thoughtful Preface by the editors, Dr. Laureys and Dr. Tononi, which is followed by yet another introspective commentary by Dr. Allan Hobson of Harvard Medical School in the form of a Prologue. The contributors to this text include some quickly recognizable names, including Drs. James Bernat, Antonio Damasio, Joseph Fins, Michael Gazzaniga, Adrian Owen, Joseph Giacino, Nicholas Schiff and Adam Zeman, among others.
