| Summary |
Annotation "NINDS has been one of the most powerful motors that pulled and pushed the rise of modern neuroscience. Its history and the history of neurology and neuroscience are essentially one. Well written, and lavishly accompanied by photographs that span the last half-century, this book will be a welcome addition to the library of everyone in neurology, neurosurgery, and all areas of the neurosciences."--BOOK JACKET.
