It is a fascinating but often overwhelming specialty which is required for everyday practice right through a medical career, from junior doctor to senior consultant. This colour MCQ revision aid covers the most important basic elements from neuroanatomy, neurophysiology and neuroradiology through to strokes, central nervous system lesions and malignancies. It is ideal as a final guide to test knowledge and examination readiness.
