Neuropsychology is becoming a well-established specialty within the field of rehabilitation medicine. Neuropsychologists need to know many aspects of neurology, physiatry, psychiatry, and the various interpretations of the commonly used psychological tests as they relate to neuropsychology. The emerging speciality in neuropsychology has prompted many experienced neuropsychologists to write text and reference books on the subject. Much of the test information for this book was taken from NeuropsychologicalAssessment by Murial Lezak (1983). Information on syndromes and detailed neurological functions was taken, in part, from Fundamentals of Neuropsychology by Kolb and Whishaw (1980), Neurological Differential Diagnosis by John Patton (1977), Brain's Clinical Neurology, 6th Ed., revised by Sir Roger Bannister (1985), and Neuroanatomy and Neuropathology by Reitan and Wolfson (1985). The purpose of this book is to provide a cross-referenced, alphabeti cal listing of terms, common medical abbreviations, diseases, symptoms, syndromes, brain structures and locations, and test instruments used in neuropsychology and their neuropsychological interpretations. It is intended to be useful to all levels of neuropsychologists and, perhaps, others in related fields. It is what this author would have like to have had when first starting into this field and is a result of accumulated notes. Everything is alphabetized so that there is no need for an index; if multiple definitions or listings are made, each alphabetical listing of the subject is referenced to all related material.
