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, the functions unique to the human brain, such as memory, thinking, and language, have not yet been fully understood. Therefore, this book aims to explore what measures should be taken when these higher functions fail to operate normally. The main content of the book includes, first, a brief introduction to the structure of the brain, followed by an explanation of brain-impairing diseases and their typical symptoms. Next, it categorizes the symptoms that arise when human higher functions fail to operate normally into language disorders, motor disorders, unilateral spatial neglect, cognitive disorders (agnosia), memory disorders (dementia), emotional disorders, and so on, providing detailed explanations for each. For example, the book describes the specific symptoms exhibited by patients with language disorders, the parts of the brain affected by the disease, and the tissues damaged to cause these symptoms. It further explains how to conduct rehabilitation training for patients with language disorders.
