The strength of the volume lies in its coverage of the field from basic science to clinical aspects. Its main focus is the place of electrophysiological methods. This broad presentation of the various topics is aimed at stimulating the reader to efficiently use electrophysiology in diagnosis and future development in the field UR - http://ezproxy.alfaisal.edu/login?url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/bookseries/15674231/2 ER -
