A thorough introduction to neurology. This concisely written text assumes no prior knowledge of neurology or neuroscience, yet provides the reader in a short time with a comprehensive overview of the subject. A sharp focus on the essentials makes this book ideal, not just for medical students in their first exposure to neurology, but also as a rapid and thorough review for postgraduate trainees in neurology and other disciplines, as well as for non-neurological specialists. The all-important clinical neurological examination receives particular emphasis throughout the book. Comprehension, not rote learning: subjects regularly appearing on examinations are presented in concise, logically ordered discussions that let the reader learn by understanding. Mindless rote memorization of jargon is unnecessary.
