This book includes many multiple choice questions on neuro-related topics such as neurology, neuropathology and neuro-intensive care. While it does an excellent job at providing ample practice for these basic, core topics, I find that it does not contain as many questions on neurosurgery despite the title of the book. Still, I find this book to be a great investment (and at a great price).
