The thoroughly updated Twelfth Edition of this classic retains the organization, practicality, and readability that
makes Merritt's Neurology one of the most popular texts among neurologists, primary care physicians, and residents
reviewing for psychiatry or neurology boards. In 183 short chapters, the book provides the essentials clinicians need
on symptoms/signs, diagnostic tests, and neurologic disorders of all etiologies.


For this edition, Timothy A. Pedley, MD, Chair of the Department of Neurology at Columbia University, joins Dr. Rowland
as co-editor. Coverage includes separate chapters on autism, autosomal recessive ataxias, and autosomal dominant
ataxias, and new chapters on endovascular neuroradiology, parkinsonian syndromes, Lewy body dementias, frontotemporal
dementia, vanishing white matter, vasculitis, normal pressure hydrocephalus, neuromyelitis optica, Kennedy disease,
spinal muscular atrophy, complex regional pain syndrome, disorders of DNA translation, the immune restoration
inflammatory syndrome (IRIS), and Hashimoto encephalopathy. Most chapters have been updated to reflect advances in
molecular genetics.
