The editors have succeeded in providing a state-of-the-art, concise overview of recent advances in neuropathology in a user-friendly, easy-to-use reference book. Doody's Journal From reviews of the First Edition: Being a concise introduction to the principles of neuropathology is a goal this book accomplishes admirably. Annals of Neurology Unquestionably valuable as a reference text. Archives of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine A fine treatise which truly reflects the current knowledge of the discipline with a strong emphasis on morphologic aspects. Brain Pathology An excellent current reference work on neuropathology for practitioners in the various clinical and basic neurosciences.
