Learn the key concepts of basic and clinical neurology with a unique practice-oriented approach A Doody's Core Title for 2017! For more than two decades, Clinical Neurology has helped students, residents, and clinicians understand the link between basic neuroscience and current approaches in diagnosis and treatment. Distinguished by its practice-oriented approach to neurology based on the patients' presenting symptoms, this full-color resource delivers the clearest and most efficient introduction to the field available today. Every chapter of this edition has been updated, and in many cases nearly completely rewritten to maintain the emphasis on the practical aspects of neurology while discussing the scientific underpinnings. The Ninth Edition is also enhanced by: Important new content on the neurological examination and neuroanatomy An increased number of full-color illustrations Chapter outlines that provide a quick overview of each topic Treatment protocols that reflect the most recent advances in the field An emphasis on the neurological examination and history taking as the cornerstone of diagnosis References that focus on practice-changing innovations There is no better introduction to neurology as practiced on the wards and in an outpatient setting than this time-tested classic.

As the human hypothalamus has traditionally been considered part of the neuroendocrine system, it has been of little interest to neurologists. This volume creates renewed interest in the subject, highlighting groundbreaking research that links this complex part of the human brain to a variety of neurological and psychological disorders.Clinicians, researchers, and practitioners from a variety of medical fields will find this to be a comprehensive presentation of new research that applies to a variety of disorders, including their origin, diagnosis, and treatment. From groundbreaking discussions that link the human hypothalamus to attention deficits in the dementias, to its role in disorders such as narcolepsy and certain epilepsies, users will find this volume to be an invaluable resource for research and patient care.Specific information on topics including depression, eating disorders, aggression, and mental retardation are included, giving those in the field of neurology, psychiatry, endocrinology, and pediatrics a comprehensive understanding on how the human hypothalamus is related to patient disorders in these fields. * A comprehensive accounting of groundbreaking new research regarding the human hypothalamus * New insights on the hypothalamus and its role in disorders, including dementias, epilepsies, and associated psychiatric diseases* A greater understanding of how the human hypothalamus impacts research and treatment protocols in a variety of fields, including neurology, endocrinology, and psychology

This volume provides a comprehensive understanding of the human hypothalamus, an extremely complex structure that consists of a large number of very different functional units. It approaches the subject in a way that has not historically existed in standard neuropathological investigations of the human brain.As the hypothalamus was traditionally considered to be a neuroendocrine structure, and hence of little interest to neurologists, this volume explores new findings in the field and the value they bring to the field of neurology.New understandings of the role the hypothalamus plays in memory and attention deficits in the dementias, along with greater evidence that the hypothalamus is related to symptoms and signs in both neurological and psychological disorders provide users in the fields of neuroscience, endocrinology, pediatrics, and psychology with a comprehensive resource on which to base new research and exploration. * A new understanding of the role of the human hypothalamus in neurological disorders * Clinical evidence regarding a plethora of neurological disorders and how they relate to the human hypothalamus* A greater understanding of the direct connection between both neurological and psychological disorders and the role of the hypothalamus in these disorders
