About

This book, with full color images, provides a report on the contributions deriving from developments in neuroscience, particularly brain imaging, to the understanding and treatment of some of the principal communication disorders.

Each chapter covers:
■ Background on neurological research in the principal topic area
■ Developments in brain research in that area that have been fostered by imaging technology
■ Methodological issues that are important to that area
■ A critical review of the current advances resulting from imaging research in that area
■ A final section in which the authors derive their own conclusions and highlight promising future directions

The chapter authors were selected because they are actively engaged in programs of research that involve communication disorders.

Reviews

"... This volume is long overdue and will serve as a convenient desk reference for a vast audience."
—Ryan C. Branski, PhD (Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center), Ear & Hearing (2008)

Authors

Roger J. Ingham

Roger J. Ingham is Professor of Speech and Hearing Sciences at the University of California, Santa Barbara. He was born in Australia and received his BSc and PhD in psychology (1972) from the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia. In 1982 he was awarded the Order of Australia for contributions to Speech-Language Pathology higher education in Australia. He has published 3 books and more than 170 papers, principally on developmental stuttering and is one of the most cited researchers investigating this disorder. His research has focused on the development and evaluation of stuttering treatments, the measurement of stuttering, and the neurology of stuttering. In 2005 he was awarded the Honors of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association and the Journal of Speech, Language and Hearing Research Editor's Award. He is the recipient of several federally funded research grants for investigating stuttering treatment and the neurology of stuttering. He is also an Adjunct Professor in the Research Imaging Center at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio where, in collaboration with Drs. Peter Fox and Janis Costello Ingham, he has developed a program of research on developmental stuttering using brain imaging techniques including PET, event-related fMRI, MEG and transcranial magnetic stimulation. Currently he is the PI for an NIH grant investigating the interaction between neural systems change and stuttering treatment.
