“The Atlas of EEG, Seizure Semiology, and Management is a tour de force, integrating the essential features of normaland abnormal EEGs and how these relate to understanding seizures and diagnosing and treating the diverse epilepsysyndromes that neurologists and epileptologists are confronted with. This Atlas will help both the novice and the expertto better integrate neurophysiology, clinical observations, and patient care.”—Orrin Devinsky, MD, Professor of Neurology and Neuroscience, NYU Grossman School of Medicine“This is an excellent and detailed book that includes basic principles of electronics and electrophysiology, as well as theorigins of EEG activity with a description of the role in EEG and diagnosis and management. The book includesdefinitions and classifications of epilepsies and has over 500 images, particularly of basics of electrophysiology as wellas EEG patterns and excellent examples of EEG tracings. The book also includes a nice, concise overview of the variousanti-epileptic drugs, their mechanism of action, indications, and side effects, and has excellent tables. This book is verywell written, detailed, and provides a very good source of information as well as a review for those interested in clinicalneurophysiology and epilepsy.”—Tulio E. Bertorini, MD, Professor of Neurology, Director of Clinical Neurophysiology Fellowship, University ofp. ii Tennessee Health Science Center
