Reviews

"Overall, the book is well written and that is a tribute to its many contributors-also listed at the front. The text is clear and concise and is aimed at a wide audience from medical students to primary care practitioners, specialist neurology nurses and established specialists wanting a refresh. The text is clearly laid out and coverage is broken up into tradition medical headings. One advantage of the eBook is that headings and titles are hypertext and so simple click with a mouse on a PC or touch on a smart device takes you to that section." -Dr Harry Brown, Glycosmedia"A unique feature is the myriad of visual data -- in photographs, illustrations, neuropathologic microscopic slides, and summary tables. This sets it apart from other books in the field"Sasha Alick-Lindstrom, MD, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas
