Despite a recent increase in the amount of medical information available to researchers, most resources either fail to explore neurological disease in any depth and or do so at a level not appropriate for students and general readers. Targeted to patients, their families and allied health students, The Gale Encyclopedia of Neurological Disorders provides in-depth coverage of neurological diseases and disorders, including stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson disease, Tourette Syndrome, Alzheimer's disease, cerebral palsy, vertigo, amnesia and epilepsy. Related topics include communication aids, electric personal assistive mobility devices, medications for treating neurological diseases and conditions, understanding the needs of Alzheimer patient caregivers and more.
"Gale's addition to its stable of health resources fills a gap in consumer health collections by providing much-needed current information about disorders of one of the most complex systems of the human body."
"...most public and consumer health libraries will "The Gale Encyclopedia of Neurological Disorders" because of its focus on complex conditions that are not well covered in other lay medical encyclopedias."
