This book provides comprehensive coverage of the technique and clinica l applications of magnetic brain stimulation. It begins with an accoun t of the invention of the technique and considers the technical aspect s of how magnetic stimulators work. The anatomy and physiology of cort ical motor areas are covered in sufficient detail to interpret the fin dings. There then follows a discussion of the effects of magnetic brai n stimulation in healthy subjects, covering the visual and motor syste ms, and the effects of repetitive transcranial stimulation.

Part of the Oxford Textbooks in Clinical Neurology series, the Oxford Textbook of Clinical Neurophysiology includes sections that provide a summary of the basic science underlying neurophysiological techniques, a description of the techniques themselves, including normal values, and a description of the use of the techniques in clinical situations. Much of diagnostic neurophysiology is essentially pattern recognition which is illustrated throughout the text using audio and video examples.
Divided into four key sections, this book begins with the scientific basis of...
