| Summary: | Neuropathology, formerly looked upon as a specialists' specialty, is slowly taking its proper place in the medical curriculum as a basic neurological science. The rapid rise of neurological surgery, the increasing interest in psychiatry, and the establishment of medical boards for the certification of psychiatrists, neurologists, neurological surgeons and pathologists has increased the demand for basic training in neuropathology. This Textbook of Neuropathology has been written primarily for the medical student and for those training in neurology, psychiatry, pathology and neurological surgery. The orientation of this work is anatomical. The discussion of the varieties of pathological change in the nervous system is prefaced by a chapter on pathogenesis and followed by clinical, anatomical and technical supplements. These chapters have been added to make the work a unit in itself.
