Exploring the central and peripheral nervous system in health and disease, this book aims to establish a basic science knowledge about the cellular elements of the nervous system, and then presents clinical cases in a pathophysiologic manner, as exemplified in unifying Guillain Barre and Multiple Sclerosis in one chapter on Demyelinating Disease.
