Review:

"The book is divided into multiple sections that address different aspects of neuroscience. Of note are sections on neuroradiology, neurpopathology, and neuroanatomy, which interestingly enough have been progressing at an accelerated pace in recent years. The references are updated and provide enough information even for the first-time reader. As a new edition, it provides the reader with updated information in the neurosciences and is not repetitive. The pictures are informative and the quality of the print is suitable for its aim and audience. MRI and CT scans are provided according to the case vignettes presented. In my view, there are no shortcomings in this book and the new edition is appropriate." "This is a good book for medical and neuroscience libraries, for its usefulness in a better understanding of the function of the human nervous system." (Doody's 2002-01-01)
