Description
Book SynopsisHighlighting the principles of basic neuroscience and its application to neurosurgical disease, neurological conditions are broken down into current academic themes and advances. This book outlines key animal models and clinical principles of common conditions, helping clinicians design and conduct appropriate research projects to improve prognosis.
