Greenfield's Neuropathology

Description

Greenfield's Neuropathology, the world’s leading neuropathology reference, provides a comprehensive account of the pathological findings in neurological disease, their biological basis, and their clinical manifestations.

The book's detailed advice on pathological assessment and interpretation is based on clear descriptions of molecular and cellular processes and reactions that are relevant to the development of the nervous system, as well as its normal and abnormal functioning. The information is presented in an accessible way to readers working within a range of disciplines in the clinical neurosciences, and neuropathological findings are placed within the context of a broader diagnostic process.

Features:

• Features new contributing experts who provide a fresh perspective, while retaining the depth, breadth, and quality of content so praised in previous editions
• Covers authoritatively and comprehensively pathological findings in neurological disease along with their biological basis and clinical manifestations
• Contains 22 new chapters, including an expanded section on vascular dementia, separate chapters on extrapyramidal disorders, ataxias, and motor neuron diseases, and extensive coverage of neoplastic disease
• Places in context the science underpinning the molecular and cellular processes described, assisting readers in their understanding of the material
