Essential concepts are presented within the framework of problems encountered in a clinical setting for greater relevance to real-world practice
Chapter outlines provide a quick overview of each topic
Treatment protocols reflect the most recent advances in the field
Advances in molecular biology and genetics are incorporated throughout to enhance understanding of neurologic disease
A step-by-step description of the neurologic examination
More than 200 tables and figures
