Features: The purpose of this book is to improve uniquely human functions, such as memory, thinking, and speech, when they cannot function properly. In reality, the functions of the human brain, such as memory, thinking, and language, have not yet been fully understood. Therefore, the question of what measures should be taken when these higher functions fail to function normally is the purpose of writing this book. The main content of this book includes, first, a brief introduction to the structure of the brain, and then an explanation of brain-impairing diseases and their typical symptoms. Next, the symptoms that occur when human higher functions cannot function properly are divided into language disorders, motor disorders, unilateral spatial neglect, cognitive disorders (agnosia), memory disorders (dementia), emotional disorders, and so on, and are explained separately. For example, this book describes the specific symptoms of language disorder patients, the part of the brain affected by the disease that causes these symptoms, and what tissue is damaged to produce these symptoms. It further describes how to conduct rehabilitation training for language disorder patients.
