Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
This book provides a comprehensive, timely and authoritative review of magnetic brain stimulation, a technique now widely available. Nerve specialists use the technique in the diagnosis and, more recently, treatment of a range of neurological and psychiatric conditions. This book covers the development, technical aspects and clinical applications of magnetic brain stimulation. Professor Kerry Mills is a pioneer and active worker in this field; he is uniquely positioned to review the technique, from its invention through to the very latest clinical applications.
MoreLong description:
This book provides comprehensive coverage of the technique and clinical applications of magnetic brain stimulation. It begins with an account of the invention of the technique and considers the technical aspects of how magnetic stimulators work. The anatomy and physiology of cortical motor areas are covered in sufficient detail to interpret the findings. There then follows a discussion of the effects of magnetic brain stimulation in healthy subjects, covering the visual and motor systems, and the effects of repetitive transcranial stimulation. A chapter on the practical aspects of the technique's use in a clinical setting is followed by coverage of specific clinical applications in patients with demyelinating diseases, motoneurone diseases, cerebrovascular diseases, degenerative neurological diseases, movement disorders, spinal cord and peripheral nerve diseases. The final chapters deal with the use of brain stimulation in neurosurgical monitoring and discuss potential developments of the technique in investigating neural plasticity and in treatment of psychiatric conditions. Kerry Mills is an authority, pioneer and active worker in the field; he is uniquely positioned to review the technique, from its invention through to the very latest clinical applications.
"This book provides a timely review of the available literature on magnetic stimulation . . . any department involved in magnetic stimulation would find it a very useful reference book."
