Review

This edition is a great improvement - like the embryology information.

Excellent text book; Very "student-friendly."

...the number and quality of the illustrations is not very good.

Very good introductory text for neurology.

"would prefer the first several chpts on general neuroanatomy rather than trying to find info in various chpts for using on pathologies"

"the number of quality illustrations is not very good...for the amount of people taking such a class it would be worth developing better set of illustrations"

"great improvement-inclusion of adult, acquired dx and pediatric dev dx-need something that includes tx as well as dx"
