Reviews

"The accompanying CD is an excellent resource and allows the reader to browse and search for images from all of the chapters in detail. It also contains additional images that are not found in the book ... The authors have done a superb job in terms of their stated objectives - providing trainees in neuropathology and general pathologists with an invaluable resource." -- Mark Walker, Neuropathology and Applied Neurobiology
