Neuroscience Fundamentals for Communication Sciences and Disorders is a comprehensive textbook designed for undergraduate or graduate neuroscience courses within communication sciences and disorders programs. Authored by Richard D. Andreatta, the first edition published on December 14, 2018, offers an in-depth overview of the human nervous system’s features, principles, processes, and structures. The book is structured to provide students with essential neuroanatomical and physiological content relevant to applications in communication sciences and disorders (CSD), while also contextualizing this knowledge within the framework of a communicative individual.

Key Features:

• An emphasis on fundamental information on anatomy, neurophysiological, and functional processes presented through a conversational writing style for better engagement and understanding.
• A rich array of full-color illustrations including anatomical figures, component diagrams, photographs, schematic line drawings, process flow-charts, and tables to enhance visual learning.
• Dedicated chapters on the neural bases of speech, language, and hearing that integrate basic information from earlier sections with specific CSD findings for a more cohesive understanding.
• Each chapter is introduced with clear learning objectives and concludes with review questions and a top ten summary list to aid in comprehension and retention.

The book spans 700 pages, making it a substantial resource for students aiming to delve deeply into the complexities of neuroscience within the context of communication sciences and disorders.
