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 exactly what the reader needs to know about neurology. In a unique way, neurology is made "visible" in the truest sense of the word. Clearly labeled, full-color illustrations accompany detailed, easy-to-grasp descriptions.
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
This pocket atlas is a practical resource for medical students, physicians, and other medical professionals (nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists) who need a solid understanding of neurology.
