The text that bridges the gap between basic
neuroscience and clinical practice -- updated with the
latest advances and full-color illustrations For more
than twenty years, Clinical Neurology has helped
students, residents, and clinicians understand the link
between basic neuroscience and current approaches in
diagnosis and treatment. Distinguished by its
practice-oriented approach to neurology based on
presenting symptoms, this trusted classic delivers the
clearest and most concise introduction to the field
available anywhere.Features: Essential concepts are
presented within a framework of problems encountered in
a clinical setting for greater relevance to real-world
practice More than 200 tables and figures put key
information at your fingertips Treatment protocols
reflect the most recent advances in the field Advances
in molecular biology and genetics are incorporated
throughout NEW Introductory chapters on the neurologic
