| Summary |
"Now in its Fifth Edition, this classic text provides a systematic approach to the anatomic localization of clinical problems in neurology. The book offers a roadmap for moving from the symptom or observed sign to the place in the central or peripheral nervous system where the problem is. Clear discussions provide a full understanding of why a symptom or sign can be localized to a particular anatomic area."--BOOK JACKET |
