This volume of Progress in Clinical Neurosciences follows the tradition of selecting topics likely to be of common interest to neurosurgeons, neurophysicians and other neuroscientists. Cutting-edge research and knowledge has been provided on neurogenetics, cognitive neuropsychology for aphasia and magnetoencephalography. The management of diffuse low-grade gliomas and aggressive and recurrent meningiomas has been updated. Reviews on lumbar arthroplasty and asymptomatic tethered cord highlight differing opinions. The chapters on Rating scales in neurosciences, Cerebral dominance and Neuromuscular disorders in the critical care unit present cross-disciplinary aspects.

The topics covered in Volume 27 would be of direct relevance to neurospecialists in their day-to-day clinical practice. Advances in multiple sclerosis, ischemic stroke, epilepsy surgery and syringomyelia are elaborated for the reader. There is a comprehensive coverage of management of tumors in eloquent areas. Evidence-based management of spinal etastasis and the scientific evidence for decompressive craniotomy are presented. The controversies regarding the management of recurrent glioblastomas as well as the need to shunt a syrinx associated with Chiari malformation are strongly debated. Allied fields such as radiation therapy and neuropsychology are demystified and explained in a lucid manner.

This volume of Progress in Clinical Neurosciences is devoted in large part to various aspects of epilepsy--both medical and surgical. Spine and peripheral nerve surgery for various disorders is covered in detail. Both these sections have lively chapters on Controversies in surgical management. Current treatment options for neurological infections and Parkinson disease are other highlights of the book. Experimental stem cell therapy in neurological illnesses takes a look into the future, while Paediatric traumatic brain injury and Primary prevention of stroke offer solutions to everyday problems. These exhaustive reviews will benefit not only postgraduate students but will also update the knowledge of practising clinicians.

This volume of Progress in Clinical Neurosciences has updates on interesting topics ranging from skull base and vascular neurosurgery to innovation in endoscopic surgery including 3D and spinal surgery. In clinical neurology, there are updates on topics of common interest, i.e. neuroinfection, demyelination, stroke and headache. The role of embryogenesis is emphasized in the management of neurological disorders and the cranio-vertebral junction. The chapter on radiation biology and its complications focuses on the emerging field of tumour management. The chapters on vestibular schwanoma and multilevel cervical compressive myelopathy address the debate on the optimal surgical approach.

This detailed look at the development of microgenetic theory provides a comprehensive and coherent model of cognitive processing in the brain, based on patterns of breakdown in pathology. In so doing, it illustrates the clinical record that supports and documents microgenetic theory, and presents a basis for future work in the study of the brain. Coverage includes topics in language and dominance, the function of the right hemisphere, action, perception, memory, and the concept of time.
