About the Book
The UCLA Forum in Medical Sciences Number 4: Brain Function Volume III presents the proceedings of the Third Conference on Brain Function, held in November 1963, which focused on speech, language, and communication. Sponsored by the Brain Research Institute at UCLA with support from the U.S. Air Force Office of Scientific Research, this interdisciplinary event brought together leading experts to explore the neurological foundations of human communication. Topics included the brain's role in speech production, language processing, and comprehension, as well as the mechanisms underlying communication disorders. The discussions provided valuable insights into how neurological impairments affect language and communication, offering potential therapeutic approaches, and advancing scientific understanding in fields such as neuropsychology, cognitive science, and speech pathology.
