With Macmillan’s superior content delivered by LaunchPad (a first for this title),  Fundamentals of Human Neuropsychology continues to keep pace with its dynamic field, just as it has done throughout its nearly four decades of publication. As they have done since the first edition, the authors draw on recent research and their own clinical and lab experience to guide their development of the content, and on their experience in the classroom to help hone the presentation in a way that is both accessible and engaging to students. Coverage includes recent developments in network analysis, neural imaging, and genetic research—particularly in terms of the impact on our understanding and assessment of brain injury and disorders.

And for the first time, the book has its own dedicated version of LaunchPad, an all-in-one solution for online teaching and learning, featuring the complete e-book, interactive student resources,  and assessment tools.

The gold standard in neuropsychology education

With Macmillan’s superior content delivered by LaunchPad (a first for this title),  Fundamentals of Human Neuropsychology continues to keep pace with its dynamic field, just as it has done throughout its nearly four decades of publication. As they have done since the first edition, the authors draw on recent research and their own clinical and lab experience to guide their development of the content, and on their experience in the classroom to help hone the presentation in a way that is both accessible and engaging to students. Coverage includes recent developments in network analysis, neural imaging, and genetic research—particularly in terms of the impact on our understanding and assessment of brain injury and disorders.

And for the first time, the book has its own dedicated version of LaunchPad, an all-in-one solution for online teaching and learning, featuring the complete e-book, interactive student resources,  and assessment tools.

Features

Opening Portraits in each chapter provide a detailed narrative of a specific case or condition relevant to the chapter topic, to give clinical context and motivate the student’s reading.

Additional Snapshots within each chapter present emerging areas of research, innovative methods or research techniques, key areas of current study, and informative historical research related to specific discussions within the chapter. These articles allow the student to dig deeper, and get a more intuitive sense for how the body of knowledge around human neuropsychology develops.

Case Studies throughout the text document  injury and impairment, including those drawn from the authors’ own clinical experience, to inform the discussion of neurological function and assessment).

IN THE TEXTBOOK
Updated throughout
with recent research on neural networks, particularly reflected in greater emphasis on network analysis in the Part II: Cortical Functions chapters, including revised part structure.

Part IV: Higher Function chapters heavily revised, with updated research and case studies, particularly in the areas of plasticity and neurological and psychiatric disorders.

Significantly revised coverage of asymmetry (Chapters 11-12) to reflect contemporary understanding.

"I think this is one of the best undergraduate textbooks for neuropsychology. [The] topics covered extend beyond cognitive neuroscience. [And] the authors are consistently outlining principles for the students (e.g. Principles of plasticity; principles of neocortical function). This helps students understand the big picture."
—Diana Lim, Concordia University

"The current text does a great job of summarizing the seminal articles and case studies that have lead research-practitioners to conclude to the current theories and frameworks in clinical and human neuropsychology. Bottom line, the content is outstanding and the clarity of the text is great. Difficult concepts are thoughtfully organized and organically explained by way of seminal research studies and clinical cases. The case studies at the start of each chapter adds the bit of intrigue that cultivates the attention of the student long enough to search for the justification for why such symptoms are present. I actually incorporate [the opening Portraits] at the start of each lecture. I call it the magic trick technique to gain attention. From a psych/neuropsych perspective, the audience is now primed to learn."
—Jeffay Eliyas, University of Toronto

"This is a terrific text with comprehensive but concise coverage of the material. The text is very conversational considering the technical nature of the concepts. Organization is superb and multiple parallel presentations make typically confusing abstract concepts easy to grasp. Illustrations and figures are supportive and helpful as well as interesting. This is in many ways a step up from any book I've used concerning the above."
—Kelly Cate, University of North Georgia

"Students often describe the chapter content as comprehensive but also very well laid out and easy to digest while retaining the details of complex topics. This textbook is outstanding: it is easy to read, and the topics covered are critical to understanding the foundations of human neuropsychology."
—Benjamin Clark, University of New Mexico

"The authors have kept the text quite well updated, overall, given the fast and growing developments in our field. It is also quite a comprehensive textbook. The organization of the textbook is actually a strength of this book. [FHN] is a great resource for us and our students. My appreciation to Drs. Kolb and Whishaw for all the years of work clearly reflected on this compilation."
—Mauricio Garcia-Barrera, University of Victoria

"A strong text with lots to offer regarding content, engaging and informative figures, hits all the important concepts. [FHN] provides a great foundational approach to neuropsychology."
—Derin Cobia, Brigham Young University

Bryan Kolb

Bryan Kolb Bryan Kolb received his Ph.D. from The Pennsylvania State University and con-ducted postdoctoral work at the University of Western Ontario and the Montreal Neurological Institute. In 1976, he moved to the University of Lethbridge, Alberta, where he is a professor of neuroscience. His current research examines how pre-conception and perinatal factors — including tactile stimulation, psychoactive drugs, stress, noise, and injury — modify the developing cerebral cortex and how these changes are related to behavior. Kolb is a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada; the Canadian Psychological Association (CPA); the Canadian Society for Brain, Behaviour, and Cognitive Science (CSBBCS); the American Psychological Associa-tion; and the Association of Psychological Science. Currently a fellow of the Child Brain Development program of the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research, he is a recipient of the Hebb Prize from the CPA and CSBBCS. He has received honor-ary doctorates from the University of British Columbia, Thompson Rivers Univer-sity, Concordia University, and the University of Lethbridge. He is a recipient of the Ingrid Speaker Gold Medal for research, the distinguished teaching medal from the University of Lethbridge, and the Key to the City of Lethbridge. In 2017, he was appointed as an Officer of the Order of Canada. He and his wife train and show horses in Western riding performance events.

Ian Q. Whishaw received his Ph.D. from Western University and is a professor of neuroscience at the University of Lethbridge. He has held visiting appointments at the University of Texas, the University of Michigan, the University of Cambridge, and the University of Strasbourg. He is a fellow of Clair Hall, Cambridge, the Canadian Psychological Association, the American Psychological Association, and the Royal Society of Canada. He is a recipient of the Canadian Humane Society Bronze Medal for bravery, the Ingrid Speaker Gold Medal for research, the dis-tinguished teaching medal from the University of Lethbridge, and the Donald O. Hebb Prize. He has received the Key to the City of Lethbridge and has honorary doctorates from the University of British Columbia, Thompson Rivers University, and the University of Lethbridge. His research addresses the evolution and neural basis of skilled movement and the neural basis of brain disease. The Institute for Sci-entific Information includes him in its list of most-cited neuroscientists. His hobby is training and showing horses for Western performance events.
