- Includes comprehensive coverage of genetics in relation to epilepsy, autism, and many neurometabolic disorders, with up-to-date coverage of genetic testing, diagnosis, and pharmacogenomics.
- Features weighted differential diagnosis tables and treatment algorithms that help you quickly identify the more common and most treatable neurological disorders, as well as evaluate and manage the most difficult neurodegenerative disorders, including those caused by inborn errors of metabolism.
- Provides helpful boxes that synthesize symptoms and foundational points, an increased number of imaging examples throughout, and more than 300 illustrations, tables, and charts that support and clarify the text.
