interesting book in the beginning, but the more it becomes specialised, the more it becomes difficult and boring for me.I could understand some technical words, but in the middle I couldn't bear no more and I finished by only reading titles and figures...
It would be precious for neurology students ans for the specialised people...but not really for me!! :)
