	ATLAS OF EEG & SEIZURE SEMIOLOGY Text with DVD To order this title, and for more information, click here By Bassel Abou-Khalil, MD, Professor of Neurology and Director, Epilepsy Lab and Clinical Neurophysiology Training Program, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, TN Karl Misulis, MD, PhD, Clinical Professor of Neurology, Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, Nashville, TN; Neurologist, Semmes-Murphey Neurological and Spine Institute, Jackson, TN Description This clinical atlas consists of both a DVD and companion text that cover basic classifications and definitions of seizures and epilepsy, EEG technology and clinical EEG before proceeding to the key content of EEG traces and video samples. The DVD allows you to view the EEG tracing in action, with a side-by-side video of a patient during the ictal phase. The accompanying text concisely covers the key principles, scope, limitations, diagnostic importance, and prognostic relevance for each interpretation.
