With a new subtitle and many new authors (more than three-quarters of the contributors), the third edition of this comprehensive reference expands its coverage while continuing to focus on the mechanisms of neurological disease and on the principles of disease management and therapeutics. The 129 chapters are arranged in 17 parts, e.g., disorders of higher function, disorders of motor control, headache and pain, epilepsy, autoimmune disorders, trauma and toxic disorders, degenerative disorders, and neurological manifestations of systemic conditions. Each volume includes a section of color plates as well as numerous high-quality b&w images. The second edition, Diseases of the Nervous System: Clinical Neurobiology , was published in 1992.
