"Editing and compiling a neurology textbook is a huge task, particularly when it is the 12th edition of one of the most famous textbooks of neurology. The editor and authors of Brain's Diseases of the Nervous System have done a wonderful job....this book is a useful quick reference for clinical neurologists and is an essential textbook for trainees in clinical neurology."--The Lancet
