20 Neurology books for students and curious people

A compilation of works to understand the human brain and brain processes.

The brain and its functioning have been the object of study of numerous scientific branches and disciplines. Psychology, biology, medicine and the multiple branches that compose them have had to make great efforts over the years to gather a solid body of knowledge that allows professionals who are trained in it to work.

Of these different professionals, from the medical field the specialty in the study of neurons and the nervous system stands out, also known as neurology.

A selection of neurology books

For the group of professionals in charge of researching and intervening in the nervous system, it is of great help to have various manuals available. it is of great help to have a variety of neurology manuals and books that bring together the knowledge that gather the knowledge gathered over the years.

With the purpose of being a help for these students and professionals of neuroscience, as well as for other related disciplines or even to bring these subjects closer to those who are not dedicated to it, we present some twenty books that can be of great use for the study of the subject..

1. Clinical Neurology (Bradley, W.G.; Daroff, R.B.; Fenichel, G.M. & Jankovic, J.)
