Because the challenge nowadays with neurologic syndrome presentations is no longer merely lesion localization, but the degree, extent and nature of a cognitive and\/or behavioral impairment, this work proposes a more targeted system of mentation evaluation -- one that incorporates behavioral, neurological, neuropsychiatric, and neuropsychological components. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDeveloped by synthesizing outcomes data from a range of stroke registries, this novel work offers a stepwise, hierarchical approach to mentation evaluation largely determined by level of consciousness and degree of cooperation. Organized across 14 chapters, the book begins with an introduction to the challenges of cognitive and behavioral assessment, as well as a discussion of various clinical presentations ranging from mild behavioral impairment to cognitive reserve and its implications. Subsequent chapters then address various approaches to mental status evaluation and explore how these tests affect brain physiology. The work closes with a unique discussion of the various lay populations that may benefit from cognitive and behavioral evaluation. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Authored by a renowned expert in the field, \u003cem\u003eClinical Mentation Evaluation: A Connectomal Approach to Rapid and Comprehensive Assessment\u003c\/em\u003e is an invaluable reference that seeks to revitalize neurological and psychiatric disease measurement within the clinical setting.
