Author Description
This is the latest edition of our comprehensive textbook of neurology. Edited by Michael Donaghy, succeeding Lord Walton, Brain's Diseases of the Nervous System 11th edition has been extensively redesigned, rewritten and reorganized to take account of the latest advances in neurological practice. After introductory chapters on clinical diagnosis and investigation, the content is organized by disorder to provide detailed coverage of the full range of major neurological conditions. As in previous editions, the coverage is anchored in science with consideration of the relevant neuroscientific research underpinning clinical practice. The text is extensively referenced. This coverage is achieved within 35 chapters from 14 distinguished authors, all experts in their respective specialities. The book is more highly illustrated than ever before with in excess of 500 drawings, photographs and colour plates. This is an integrated and unrivalled text, providing neurologists and clinical researchers with a comprehensive, authoritative and cohesive single-volume textbook of neurology.
Menrva's Summary
THE THESIS
This text investigates the clinical diagnosis, investigation, and management of major neurological disorders through an evidence-based framework. Edited by Dr. Michael Donaghy, the volume synthesizes contributions from 14 distinguished specialists to provide a comprehensive overview of modern neurology. The work bridges the gap between fundamental neuroscientific research and practical clinical application, serving as a primary reference for practitioners and researchers.
