Neuroanatomy for Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology 2nd Edition (Second Edition)

Neuroanatomy for Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology 2nd Edition (Second Edition) by Michael P. Cannito, Katherine M. McCluskey, and colleagues is a textbook designed for students in speech-language pathology, audiology, and communication sciences. The book explains the relationship between nervous system structures and the processes involved in speech, language, hearing, and swallowing.

The text introduces neuroanatomical concepts in a way that connects brain structures with clinical practice. It helps students understand how damage to different areas of the nervous system can affect communication, cognition, voice, and related functions.

This edition covers the organization of the nervous system, neurons and neural pathways, brain development, cerebral cortex, cranial nerves, sensory and motor systems, auditory pathways, language networks, speech production, swallowing mechanisms, neurological disorders, and clinical applications in communication sciences. Illustrations and clinical examples help students connect anatomy with assessment and treatment.

Whether you're studying speech-language pathology, audiology, communication sciences, or related healthcare fields, Neuroanatomy for Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology provides the foundation needed to understand the neurological basis of communication and related disorders.
