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!
very good. Will be a great help for the students
amazing
Los esquemas recapitulan aspectos anatómicos y clínicos de una manera sencilla y accesible para el estudiante. Es un libro que se va a utilizar toda la carrera. El recomendarlo en los primeros años facilita ja adquisición de la jerga clínica y motiva el aprendizaje de la anatomía.
I have suggested this book to be a core textbook for PhD students - Neuroscience module and it is officially in the next accreditation proposal.
This book is key to the anatomy and clinical correlation of aetiology of most pathologies taught at postgraduate study.
