Customer Reviews

Promises to be a lasting reference far beyond the usual shelf life of medical coverages.

THE DANA GUIDE TO BRAIN HEALTH appeared several years ago and was only recently received for review - but the information it holds has withstood the test of time and makes THE DANA GUIDE TO BRAIN HEALTH a recommended pick to this day. Where competing health titles are quickly outdated by advancements, THE DANA GUIDE remains as current and relevant as the day it was published, providing a resource for consumers which is intended as a home reference rather than a physician's handbook. Diagrams, tables, sidebars, graphs and photos all illustrate important, basic connections between brain health and body health and show how consumers can maintain both. From brain disease-specific chapters on autism, alcoholism, and Huntington's Disease, among others, to more general introductions on brain physiology, THE DANA GUIDE promises to be a lasting reference far beyond the usual shelf life of medical coverages.

The best introduction to the central nervous system

Addendum to my earlier comments: Diagrams and illustrations are invaluable

neurology guide

Title is misleading. This is clearly written, and packed with easily accessible information. Recommend it as an introduction to neuroanatomy, neuropathology, and neurology
