It spans foundational neuroanatomy, nervous-system development, cellular physiology, neurotransmission, and neurological assessment across adult, pediatric, and older-adult populations.<br /><br />Major clinical topics include traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries; ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke; epilepsy and seizures; disorders of consciousness and brain death; infections such as meningitis and encephalitis; hydrocephalus and intracranial-pressure management; brain, spinal, and peripheral-nerve tumors; movement disorders; neuromuscular diseases; neuropathies; spinal disorders; headaches and other pain conditions; and sleep disorders. The index also covers congenital and developmental conditions, aging-related neurological changes, and neuroendocrine and electrolyte disorders.<br /><br />It references diagnostic methods—including neurological examinations, laboratory and cerebrospinal-fluid studies, CT, MRI, angiography, EEG, ultrasound, and electrodiagnostic testing—and interventions such as medications, surgery, neuromodulation, temperature management, rehabilitation, and nursing care. Additional subjects include perioperative practice, ethical decision-making, end-of-life care, patient and caregiver support, and interdisciplinary rehabilitation.
