Subcortical Structures and Cognition de Leonard F Koziol

Subcortical Structures and Cognition

Autor Leonard F Koziol, Deborah Ely Budding
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 mai 2010

Adresăm acest volum cercetătorilor, neuropsihologilor clinicieni și studenților la masterat sau doctorat care doresc să depășească modelul corticocentric al funcționării mentale. În Subcortical Structures and Cognition, Leonard F Koziol și Deborah Ely Budding propun o schimbare de paradigmă, demonstrând că structurile subcorticale nu sunt simple stații de releu motor, ci componente critice ale sistemului executiv uman. Apreciem modul în care autorii folosesc organizarea anatomică a creierului — în special sistemele reintrante ce leagă cortexul prefrontal de striat, talamus și cerebel — pentru a explica implicarea acestora în atenție, limbaj și reglare emoțională. Textul este structurat progresiv: prima jumătate fundamentează neuroanatomia funcțională, stabilind principiul conform căruia ceea ce ganglionii bazali și cerebelul fac pentru mișcare, fac și pentru cogniție (automatizare, controlul calității, secvențiere). A doua jumătate trece în sfera aplicată a evaluării neuropsihologice, analizând cum deficitele în funcțiile executive sau memoria de lucru pot fi urmărite până la patologii subcorticale. Ca alternativă la Neuropsychological Disorders associated with Subcortical Lesions de G. Vallar pentru cursurile de neuropsihologie avansată, volumul de față aduce avantajul unei integrări mai clare între neuroștiința teoretică și metodologia clinică de testare. Considerăm că forța acestei ediții Springer rezidă în capacitatea de a sintetiza date din imagistica experimentală cu observația clinică a tulburărilor de dezvoltare. Cartea nu doar că răspunde la întrebarea dacă subcortexul participă la cogniție, ci detaliază mecanismele specifice prin care acesta modulează comportamentul complex.

De ce să citești această carte

Recomandăm această carte profesioniștilor care doresc să înțeleagă rolul ganglionilor bazali și al cerebelului dincolo de motricitate. Cititorul câștigă o perspectivă integrată asupra creierului organizat vertical, esențială pentru diagnosticarea corectă a tulburărilor executive și de învățare. Este un instrument teoretic solid care fundamentează noi paradigme în evaluarea neuropsihologică, oferind argumente anatomice pentru simptome cognitive adesea ignorate în patologiile subcorticale.

Despre autor

Leonard F. Koziol este un neuropsiholog clinician recunoscut pentru contribuțiile sale în înțelegerea funcțiilor executive și a neuroanatomiei sistemelor de control cerebral. Deborah Ely Budding este, de asemenea, specializată în neuropsihologie clinică, cu un interes major în tulburările de dezvoltare și relația dintre structurile subcorticale și comportament. Împreună, cei doi autori au colaborat pentru a promova un model integrat al funcționării creierului, publicând numeroase lucrări care provoacă teoriile tradiționale și orientează practica clinică spre o înțelegere mai profundă a circuitelor fronto-subcorticale.

Descriere scurtă

Clinical psychologists and neuropsychologists are traditionally taught that cognition is mediated by the cortex and that subcortical brain regions mediate the coordination of movement. However, this argument can easily be challenged based upon the anatomic organization of the brain. The relationship between the prefrontal cortex/frontal lobes and basal ganglia is characterized by loops from these anterior brain regions to the striatum, the globus pallidus, and the thalamus, and then back to the frontal cortex. There is also a cerebrocerebellar system defined by projections from the cerebral cortex to the pontine nuclei, to the cerebellar cortex and deep cerebellar nuclei, to the red nucleus and then back to thalamus and cerebral cortex, including all regions of the frontal lobes. Therefore, both the cortical-striatal and cortical-cerebellar projections are anatomically defined as re-entrant systems that are obviously in a position to influence not only motor behavior, but also cognition and affect. This represents overwhelming evidence based upon neuroanatomy alone that subcortical regions play a role in cognition. The first half of this book defines the functional neuroanatomy of cortical-subcortical circuitries and establishes that since structure is related to function, what the basal ganglia and cerebellum do for movement they also do for cognition and emotion.
The second half of the book examines neuropsychological assessment. Patients with lesions restricted to the cerebellum and/or basal ganglia have been described as exhibiting a variety of cognitive deficits on neuropsychological tests. Numerous investigations have demonstrated that higher-level cognitive functions such as attention, executive functioning, language, visuospatial processing, and learning and memory are affected by subcortical pathologies. There is also considerable evidence that the basal ganglia and cerebellum play a critical role in the regulation of affect and emotion. These brain regions are an integral part of the brain’s executive system. The ability to apply new methodologies clinically is essential in the evaluation of disorders with subcortical pathology, including various developmental disorders (broadly defined to include learning disorders and certain psychiatric conditions), for the purpose of gaining greater understanding of these conditions and developing appropriate methodologies for treatment.
 
The book is organized around three sources of evidence:
  1. neuroanatomical connections;
  2. patients with various disease processes;
  3. experimental studies, including various imaging techniques.
These three sources of data present compelling evidence that the basal ganglia and cerebellum are involved in cognition, affect, and emotion. The question is no longer if these subcortical regions are involved in these processes, but instead, how they are involved. The book is also organized around two basic concepts: (1) the functional neuroanatomy of the basal ganglia and the cerebellum; and (2) how this relates to behavior and neuropsychological testing.
Cognitive neuroscience is entering a new era as we recognize the roles of subcortical structures in the modulation of cognition. The fields of neuropsychology, cognitive psychology, neuropsychiatry, and neurology are all developing in the direction of understanding the roles of subcortical structures in behavior. This book is informative while defining the need and direction for new paradigms and methodologies for neuropsychological assessment.

Recenzii

From the reviews: "Given its broad coverage and the clarity of writing, it should be very valuable for graduate students and in courses. This book opens the door to creativity by inviting neuropsychologists to develop new methodologies of investigations, following the demonstration that the cortico-centric model of cognition is no longer tenable. The authors have made a great job in bringing complex issues into simple and meaningful lines." (M.-U. Manto, The Cerebellum, Published online: 10 September 2009) "Drs. Koziol and Budding have written a highly readable and thought-provoking book that will challenge the reader’s current knowledge and help one to look beneath the surface. It is a must read for … neuropsychologist and should be on the reading list for every neuropsychology graduate student. … It is interesting to ponder … if this text becomes a standard in the neuropsychological training curriculum. … this book will assuredly give the reader a ‘deeper’ understanding of the brain." (William S. MacAllister, The Clinical Neuropsychologist , Issue 1-3, 2009) "This is a fine summary of a great deal of literature on the basal ganglia and cerebellum and of their intimate relationships with the cortical forebrain. ... This book applies a long overdue corrective to a discipline that in some sense has been blinded by the simplistic corticocentric view of brain function. If the book prompts neuropsychologists to read outside their traditionally rather constricted domains (the neuropsychological testing literature) and to more fully explore other domains of neuroscience, it will have performed a double service. I recommend it highly." (Douglas F. Watt, Harvard Medical School, Archives of Clinical Neuropsychology 25 (2010) 153–155)

Subcortical Structures and Cognition
Implications for Neuropsychological Assessment
 
Leonard F. Koziol, Private Practice, Arlington Heights, Illinois

The study of neuropsychology traditionally begins with geography: the neocortex as the seat of cognition and behavior, and the subcortical regions coordinating movement. Subcortical Structures and Cognition breaks with this traditional view, arguing for a practice-oriented rethinking of brain organization.
The authors’ structural/functional analysis redefines the cerebral hemispheres, basal ganglia, and cerebellum as operating in parallel to control cognition, affect, and behavior as well as movement. Case studies and empirical data flesh out this intricate scenario, linking pathology in subcortical structures with psychiatric, learning, and developmental disabilities. These findings are at the forefront of clinical research, significant not only in theoretical terms but also leading to new advances in testing, assessment, and treatment.
Highlights of the book:
  • The shift from cortex-centered to cortical-subcortical neuropsychology.
  • Functional anatomy of the cerebellum and basal ganglia, and their roles in cognition, emotion, and behavior.
  • The neuroanatomy of experiential and reinforcement-based learning.
  • Review of cognition as an extension of the motor control system.
  • Cases illustrating the relationships between cortical and subcortical systems in various types of pathology.
  • The current state of neuropsychological assessment.
  • Results of experimental studies, including imaging technologies.
  • Future directions for neuropsychology, neurology, and related fields.
The only book of its kind, Subcortical Structures and Cognition is written for maximum clinical applicability, making it important practical reading for neuropsychologists, rehabilitation specialists, speech, occupational, and physical therapists, cognitive neuroscientists, and psychiatrists.
