This third volume of the Advances in Clinical Neuropsychology series mirrors the format of the first, featuring a range of contributions across diverse areas. It includes chapters on specific neuropsychological conditions such as cardiovascular diseases, Huntington's disease, head trauma in children, and hepatic encephalopathy. Additionally, it addresses neurobehavioral assessment, with one chapter focusing on CT scans and another on the Luria-Nebraska Neuropsychological Test Battery. Several empirical reviews are also presented, discussing topics like sex differences in brain function, the neuropsychology of emotion, the correlation between neuropsychological test results and patient-reported disabilities, and mechanisms of amnesia. This volume upholds the tradition of blending basic science with clinical relevance, reflecting the ongoing commitment to advancing knowledge in neuropsychology. The editors acknowledge support from the Veterans Administration medical research program and the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine's Department of Psychiatry. They also express gratitude to the chapter authors and commend Kathy Lou Edwards for her exceptional editorial and administrative contributions.
