Features: The purpose of this book is to improve uniquely human functions, such as memory, thinking, and speaking, when they cannot function properly. In reality, functions unique to the human brain, such as memory, thinking, and language, have not yet been fully understood. Therefore, this book explores what measures should be taken when these higher functions fail to operate normally. This is the objective of writing this book. The main content of the book includes: first, a brief introduction to the structure of the brain, followed by an explanation of brain-attacking diseases and their typical symptoms. Next, the symptoms that occur when human higher functions fail to function normally are divided into language disorders, motor disorders, unilateral spatial neglect, cognitive disorders (agnosia), memory disorders (dementia), emotional disorders, etc., 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 the tissue damage that leads to these symptoms. It further describes how to conduct rehabilitation training for language disorder patients, among other things.
