THE book for movement disorder surgery by Ken (New Haven, CT United States)  5 Stars
January 02, 2009
Thoughtfully written and very thorough, this book lays the foundation for learning about movement disorder surgery. As opposed to just about all other neurosurgical books, the editor (Bakay) writes extensive sidebars to add to each chapter's text. This addtive, and at times, alternative, viewpoint greatly adds to the value of the book.
