About the Book

This highly interesting collection of historical articles started as a series of “space-fillers”, the journalist's device to mitigate the harshness of white space at the end of scientific papers.The author has expanded these short essays and included several additional articles and biographical reviews. He has also incorporated some longer, more discursive essays, which should be relevant to neurologists, physicians and those working in internal medicine and psychiatry. The reader attracted to medical and neurological history should find much of interest in these diverse topics.

Table of Contents:
An Overview of Neurological History; Anatomical and Neurophysiological Phenomena; Aspects of Cerebral Disorders; Dementias; Headaches; Epilepsy and Related Disorders; Cerebrospinal Fluid and Hydrocephalus; Strokes and Vascular Diseases; Ocular Disorders; Cranial Nerve Disorders; Diseases of the Spine, the Spinal Cord and Radiculopathies; Neuralgias and Polyneuropathies; Physical Signs; Genetic, Developmental and Congenital Disorders; Movement Disorders; Neuromuscular Diseases; Illnesses of the Famous, and Medical Truants; and other articles.

Review :
"Taken on its own terms the book is a success ... some of these chapters are extremely interesting and well researched ... this is an interesting work." Neuromuscular Disorders "... it is a very interesting publication with lots of illustrations, photographs and quotations from early works. Students of nuerology and neurophysicians will be thrilled to read it." World Neurology "It would be a real asset to all medical libraries. It is quite amazing how the author has so successfully covered the medical contributions of Vesalius, Virchow, Broca and others. The author's enthusiasm is quite infectious and the book will encourage readers to delve further into the fascinating realm of medical history." Alan Meltzer, ex-Senior Medical Advisor Laboratory Centre for Disease Control, Health Canada "Fragments of neurological history is one of those amazing books that can be dipped into at any page to provide fresh information. Here is also a reference book that can be read from cover to cover, to help us enjoy our three main indications for the study of medical history -- to avoid the mistakes of the past, as a rewarding academic discipline, and because it is fun ... For those yet to discover neurohistory pleasures, there is not a better book to encourage them to start the journey down the road of neurological history." Brain
