Neurology Secrets.

The human brain is the most complex object in the universe. With its millions of neurons making
trillions of connections, it is what gives each of us our individual personalities, thoughts, and
emotions; it is what makes us uniquely human. More scientists are involved in studying the brain
than in any other endeavor—there are more neuroscientists than there are astronomers, biologists,
chemists, or any other group of specialists. Their studies have profoundly altered our conception of
the human brain and the diseases that afflict it, and the treatment of neurologic disease has changed
perhaps more than any other field of medicine. During the process of revising the 5th edition of
Neurology Secrets, it became obvious how much the practice of neurology has advanced in just the
past few years. The management of almost every neurologic disease has changed, and in many
cases our understanding of basic sciences and disease processes has been fundamentally altered.
This new edition, therefore, required the rewriting of many answers, the addition of new questions,
and the deletion of old ones. To reflect the pace of change, appropriate websites have been added for
further reference and updates.
Neurology is one of the most dynamic medical specialties, and this revised edition should
enable the reader to continue asking the right questions and finding the right answers
