Physicians and scientists have long been intrigued by the variety of ways that language can be affected by brain disease. When epilepsy develops in early childhood, the patterns of language areas in the brain may be out of the ordinary and developmental difficulties may emerge, in which the child has difficulty in acquiring communication skills at a rate and in a manner that is similar to what is seen in most children. The book will provides important information for physicians, fellows, and students, offering insight into the potential for advances in language epilepsy research as well as R&D in this field.
