This highly interesting collection of articles started as a series of "space-fillers," the journalist's device to mitigate the harshness of white space at the end of scientific papers.In revising these short pieces, the author has expanded many parts and made more reference to sources and biographical reviews. He has also included a few longer, more discursive essays, which reflect his personal interests rather than indicating any special importance. The reader should find sufficient to provide interest in both neurological and related general medical topics.
