The purpose of this manual is to present in a clear, concise, and didactic manner, and illustrate with images in color and with schemes,

system, i.e., tumors, trauma, strokes, infections, prion diseases, degenerative processes, acquired and hereditary metabolic disorders
and developmental malformations, are described. Specific chapters are devoted to epilepsy and the pathology of peripheral nerves, skeletal
