Reviews

Neuropsychology has been a fecund source of insight about the brain and the mind. Modern cognitive neuroscience originated from it. In Reflections of a Neuropsychologist, John L. Bradshaw provides an informed and entertaining account of its origin. --Carlo Umilta, M.D., Emeritus Professor of Neuropsychology, University of Padua, Italy.

Author Information

After two years (1962–1964) as a systems analyst for Imperial Chemical Industries, John completed a PhD in Physiological Psychology at Sheffield University (1967). He then worked at the University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand (1967–1968), before moving to the newly-established Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, rising to a Personal Chair and an Emeritus Professorship. His group has worked on movement, neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders, human evolution and the evolution of language, praxis and tool use, synaesthesia, spatial representation, embodiment, mirror neuron, phantom limb and many other arcane phenomena.
