Reviews
Overall, this is an exceptional compendium of deep brain stimulation topics. For anyone treating patients using deep brain stimulation, this book is a concise and complete volume. The range of topics covered is vast, while the editors keep it organized and readable. I look forward to having this on my shelf to reference whenever I have a question about a very specific scenario, infrequently encountered diagnosis, or just want to review the basics. * Daniel R.
