Main description:

Greenfield's Neuropathology, the world's leading neuropathology reference, provides a comprehensive account of the pathological findings in neurological disease, their biological basis, and their clinical manifestations. Underpinning the text is a clear description of the molecular and cellular processes and reactions that are relevant to the development as well as the normal and abnormal functioning of the nervous system. The information is presented in an accessible way to readers working within a range of disciplines in the clinical neurosciences, and neuropathological findings are placed within the context of a broader diagnostic process.
