This book aims to improve the understanding of neurological disorders, by providing authentic, research backed information in a simple and lucid manner for one and all. This edition is primarily intended to benefit the patients, their families, and care givers. The purpose of this book is to educate on neurological disorders, as well as to enlighten and inspire communities towards prevention and early detection of diseases. Supplemented with a large number of figures and diagrams, this book aims to make learning and understanding simpler for everyone.

The first chapter begins with an overview of the nervous system, followed by the important topic of neuroradiology where computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging have assumed great significance in the diagnosis and management of neurological illnesses today. Stroke, epilepsy, headache, central nervous system infections, movement disorders, demyelinating disorders, neuromuscular diseases, and other topics have all been covered extensively. In the concluding chapters, the authors have listed the important side effects of commonly used medicines for neurological disorders and also given very useful tips to remember for a hospitalised patient. Each chapter begins with a memorable quotation, followed by key points and a brief historical description. At the end of the chapter, there are “pearls of wisdom” to provide readers with the essence of the chapter.
