Aphasia A Pathophysiological Key to Memory Function and "volitional" Naming

Words (Names) are remarkably efficient instruments for communication processing. This landmark book presents case histories from the author's own research which illuminate this phenomena from a pathophysiological standpoint. In order to facilitate understanding of the case studies, a hypothetical outline of the central nervous system network processing for the production of propositional communications is presented. An anatomical-physiological model for volitional naming is offered. The following types of memories are discussed: DNA and RNA Memories; Cognitive Memories; Conceptual Memories, Event Memories; Action Memories.
