Synopsis

This book's unique, self-teaching programmed format helps to (1) teach students how to conduct a neurologic examination (2) review the anatomy and physiology for interpreting it, and (3) show which laboratory tests help to clarify the clinical problem. Updated to reflect the impact of new imaging modalities such as CT and MRI on neurological diagnosis, the book is designed to closely represent the situations physicians will encounter in practice and rehearses the responses they will need to make.

--Four Stars (Excellent) from Mayo Clinic Proceedings*
