This soft-bound 2-volume work is a synopsis of basic science in neurology. Volume 1 contains 22 chapters on anatomy and 32 chapters on physiology. In volume 2, there are 32 chapters in which neuropathology and neuroradiology are covered in conjunction with one another. Both volumes are organized in outline format, with summary information given on each main topic and levels of subheadings followed by lists of facts.
In the section on anatomy in volume 1, single chapters are devoted to the components of the central and peripheral nervous systems, including separate chapters on brain barriers, cranial foramina, and miscellaneous structures. In each chapter, description of the anatomic structure, its connections, and its functions are stated briefly. Often, clinical findings specific to the structure accompany this description. The illustrations that accompany this text are good, with many black and white diagrams, including brainstem nuclei and cranial nerve components. Several color illustrations, . . .
