Neurologists Brazis (Mayo Clinic), Josesph C. Masdeu (U. of Navarra, Spain) and José Biller (Indiana U.) explain to clinicians the techniques of neurological localization as part of evaluating patients with neurologic diseases. They emphasize manifestations of neurologic disease that are helpful to localizations, rather the myriad of reflexes with high-sounding eponyms that they find to have littered the field of late. No date is mentioned for earlier editions, but the fourth incorporates recent discoveries by functional neuro-imaging and other technologies that help physicians figure out where a neurologic disorder is.
