Review:

Easily readable, with subheadings, informative summaries and key references, which allow rapid orientation in the comprehensive subject matter. Logical and easy-to-understand text is placed opposite beautifully drawn and labeled illustrations, thus enhancing the book's didactic utility. This small atlas is a precious and unique visual guide to neurology's most difficult concepts, a book that should always be close at hand. It is a 'must have' for all who are interested and engaged in the open and inspiring field of clinical neuroscience and practice. --Acta Clinica Croatica

Neurology - made visible

Every practitioner in modern medicine is confronted daily with neurologic symptoms, diagnoses, and clinical problems. Yet there is scarcely any other medical specialty that is so fraught with complexities and abstractions. This pocket atlas is designed to provide a better, easier-to-understand visual guide on what the reader needs to know about neurology. In a unique way, neurology is made visible in the truest sense of the word.

Coverage includes:

The basic principles of neuroanatomy and neurophysiology (structure of the CNS, peripheral nerves, stimulus transmission, nerve conduction velocity, etc.)
Diagnostic methods and procedures (clinical examinations, electrophysiologic techniques, imaging studies, etc.).
Neurologic disorders including their clinical manifestations, pathogenesis, and principles of treatment.

These topics and more are covered in elaborately drawn, meticulously labeled illustrations. The effective concept of placing the illustrations opposite the descriptive text for a particular subject has created word-and-picture units that combine maximum teaching impact with an optimum density of information. Neurologic relationships can be grasped literally at a glance. This pocket atlas is intended for medical students, physicians, and other medical professionals (nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists) who could profit from a visual guide to neurology.
