About this title

From the Back Cover

Neurology: A Queen Square Textbook has rapidly become established as an essential companion for practising neurologists and those undertaking specialist training in neurology throughout the world.

This second edition has been fully revised and updated to reflect the rapid pace of development in clinical neurology and applied neurosciences. Each chapter incorporates an up-to-date review of recent advances in neurological management and is extensively illustrated with new figures and tables in full colour.

Neurology: A Queen Square Textbook is the only major neurology textbook written entirely from a single institution. It benefits from being edited in a collaborative manner to create consistent and authoritative subspecialty reviews.

Highlights of the new edition include:

• Full-colour illustrations throughout.
• All chapters fully revised and updated to reflect the increasing role of neurologists in acute care.
• Introductory chapters summarising the basic sciences underpinning the practice of clinical neurology, including genetics, channelopathies, immunology, neurophysiology and neuropathology.
