La neurología tiene la reputación —bien merecida, aunque un tanto exagerada— de ser difícil. Fascinante, sí. Intelectualmente estimulante, por supuesto. ¿Merece la pena la inversión en tiempo y en neuronas sobrecargadas? Sin duda, aunque resulte difícil. Por eso hemos creado El único libro de Neurología que vas a necesitar. No para hacer de la neurología algo fácil, sino para hacerla más comprensible, ayudarte a entenderla mejor, tomar toda la anatomía y fisiología, y los síndromes, clasificaciones y protocolos de tratamiento, y envolverlos en paquetes más manejables que sean claros, concisos y prácticos.
