The Neurology of Eye Movements provides clinicians with a synthesis of current scientific information that can be applied to the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of ocular motility. Basic scientists will also benefit from descriptions of how data from anatomical, electrophysiological, pharmacological, and imaging studies can be directly applied to the study of disease. By critically reviewing such basic studies, the authors build a conceptual framework that can be applied to the interpretation of abnormal ocular motor behavior at the bedside. These syntheses are summarized in boxes, new figures, schematics and tables. Part I discusses the visual need and neural basis for each functional class of eye movements. Part II deals with the evaluation of double vision, and systematically examines how many disorders of the central nervous system affect eye movements. This definitive new edition has been extensively rewritten and contains many new figures and an up-to-date section on the treatment of abnormal eye movements such as nystagmus. Insights and techniques from current research, case examples, bedside and laboratory studies and thousands of are all available here from two recognized authors in the field. This volume is a must for understanding movement disorders. A major innovation has been development of a CD ROM that offers hypertext links (which bridge basic science to clinical issues), and viewing of disorders of eye movements via over 45 video clips.
