First Sentence
Although brain electrical activity is very low in voltage (on the order of microvolts) in comparison with ambient noise (on the order of volts), electroencephalography (EEG) uses the technique of differential amplification to cancel out noise and increase the amplitude of the waveforms of interest.

Great for intermediates and updated treatment guidelines
10 Mar 2008
Format:Paperback
This book is great for a quick review of specific diagnoses and common laboratory techniques, and it has many useful tables suited for "point of care". Treatment guidelines are often more updated and clear than those given in the big books (i.e. "Neurology in Clinical Practice" and "Adam And Victor's").
It is not recommended if you are a beginner in neurology, because it dose not deal with examinations skills or a differential approach by symptoms and signs. In the latter case I strongly recommend "Clinical Neurology (Lange Medical Books) by the great Michael J. Aminoff and the general neurology chapters in Harrisons, especially "Approach to the Patient with Neurologic Disease, ...with Peripheral Neuropathy, and ...with Muscle Disease". The general section in Harrisons: "Nervous System Dysfunction" and some specific chapters (Seizures and Epilepsy, MS, WD and many others) are also recommended.
To make this book even better I would suggest the authors to expand the sections on differential diagnoses listed for each major disease topic, i.e. to highlight the most characteristic features distinguishing among related diagnoses. Also inclusion of more diagnostic criteria would be nice (e.g. IHS).
Overall a great book if it is used properly. Already looking forward to a new and updated edition

Easy to understand and complete guide to neurology
9 Jan 2007
Format:Paperback
I found this book really great. It did help me a lot of times in differential diagnosis of patients in my short career as a young neurologist. Just the paperback edition it`s not the best choice for 600 pages.
Great quick reference
4 Oct 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a fabulous book for quick references and diagnoses. I find it very useful for both the classroom and clinical scenes.
