Recenzje

As a source of information on the pattern of memory disorder seen in various cerebral diseases, it is unparalleled, and most neuropsychologists and neurologists could well benefit by having a copy. - Niall Cartlidge, Royal Victoria Infirmary, Newcastle Upon Tyne in the British Medical Journal

Will be of particular use to those who regularly deal with memory impaired patients and wish to have state-of-the-art knowledge about the neurological conditions underlying impaired memory, how to assess such impairment, the best methods of management of each condition, and some information about what memory processes have been disrupted. - Andrew Mayes, Department of Neurology, Royal Hallamshire Hospital, Sheffield, in Brain
