Neurosurgery

This comprehensive text provides fellowship candidates in the UK and Board candidates in the USA with an understanding of the foundations of the practice of neurosurgery. The purpose of the procedures is discussed in terms of anatomy, physiology, embryology, neurochemistry and epidemiology. Major sections cover the functions of the nervous system, the maintenance of brain function, neuropathology and the scientific basis of neurological investigations, and the book thus covers everything the trainee neurosurgeon or neurologist needs to know except where to cut.
