Review
"In summary, this text is an indispensable reference for any investigator who intends to conduct neuroepidemiologic research. With its rich supply of information, Neuroepidemiology is likely to become a landmark in the epidemiologic literature." --American Journal of Epidemiology
"...this book has largely succeeded in its aim of being a concise overview of neuropatholgy, and it represents good value for the money." --Brain
