After introductory chapters on clinical diagnosis and investigation, the content is organized by disorder to provide detailed coverage of the full range of major neurological conditions.

Review:

Each of the 35 contributions has been written by experts with extensive knowledge of this specialty. This level of expertise is probably the key reason for this book's success as a textbook of the highest quality. The Lancet The main text of the book on the whole admirably fulfils its purpose of guiding the neurologist in training to a variety of clinical features, disease conditions and therapeutic principles, usual and unusual. The new 'Brain' is still a monument - a fortress - of British neurology, beautifully restored. Brain, Vol 125
