Once considered largely untreatable, neurologic disorders have become a frontier for breakthrough research in pharmacology. This text discusses the latest investigational strategies and theories and how they affect current clinical practice. The book details the mechanisms, delivery systems, and efficacy of the latest medication, as the editors outline a "method" for thinking about the action of clinically useful drugs, based on modern information about kinetics, transport to the brain, interaction with neurotransmitter systems and membrane action. All types of major neurologic disorders are discussed.

Review
"The second edition of Principles of Drug Therapy in Neurology provides a comprehensive review on pharmacologic therapy of a wide range of disorders affecting the nervous system. Most of its chapters are written by experts in their respective fields, and although they vary in length and dpeth of content, they are all clearly written and contain updated and useful information....Overall, Principles of Drug Therapy in Neurology, 2nd edition, provides a concise, single source of updated information on pharmacologic therapy of a wide range of neurologic disorders in a very readable manner. I enthusiastically recommend this book to all clinical neurologists and neuroscientists, regardless of their level of experience and expertise."--Eduardo E. Benarroch, MD, in Neurology
