The originators of this book, Raymond D. Adams and Maurice Victor, insisted that the basis of the practice of neurology as a medical discipline must always be related back to the patient. This guides the format and approach that we continue to adhere in the current edition. In the past few decades, there has been an explosion in understanding of the fundamental causes of neurological diseases. Just a few examples are the reclassification of brain tumors based on genetic changes and the novel autoantibody disorders that proliferate with each edition of major medical journals. In the present edition, there is hardly a category of disease that has not begun to yield to the tools of molecular biology and genetics SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/04/18 UR - neurology.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1199439637 ER -
