Reviews
This is amongst the most comprehensive Neurology textbooks I've seen. The classic Netter and Machado illustrations beautifully depict general mechanisms and pathologies with perfect clarity, without compromising on complexity. The material is specialised and may not be suitable for medical students new to the neurosciences, but it's highly recommended for more advanced students of neurology.
One of the best books in neurology!
