Reviews
The bible for neurological and opthalmological clinicians and researchers alike. Louis R. Caplan, Harvard Medical School. The 5th edition is a must for all neurologists and neuroscientists interested in how the human vestibular and oculomotor system adapt to movement in space and to viewing the world and its contents Louis R. Caplan, Harvard Medical School. One of the classics in the neurological literature It is a tremendous achievement to have provided this highly comprehensive but readable text, which informs such a large group of researchers and clinicians. Christopher Kennard, John Radcliffe Hospital, University of Oxford A monograph written with deep knowledge, understanding, wisdom, clarity, intelligibility - the superlatives could go on and on Michael Halmagyi, University of Sydney Not only should it stand in your bookcase but it should also be accessible in electronic form on several electronic devices. Michael Strupp, University of Munich There is no other book on ocular movements that combines a comprehensive basic neuroscience, diagnostic tools with a practical management of the patients.
Recognized as the standard text in the field since its first edition in 1983, this updated tome is an essential resource for anybody doing eye-movement-related applied or clinical research. --Optics and Photonics News
Author Information
Dr. Leigh, who trained in neurology at the University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Cornell Medical Center in New York, and the Johns Hopkins Medical Center in Baltimore, has applied eye movements to study a broad range of disorders affecting the brain, eye, or ear during his career as a clinician-scientist. He has served on review committees of the National Institutes of Health and on the editorial boards of journals Annals of Neurology and Neurology. His collaboration of over 35 years with Dr. Zee has produced many joint publications including five editions of the Neurology of Eye Movements. Dr. Zee first came to Johns Hopkins in Baltimore in 1965 as a medical student and then trained there in neurology after an internal medicine internship at Cornell Medical Center in New York. Both his research and clinical focus has been on eye movement and vestibular disorders. He has had three sabbatical years at the National Eye Institute in their Laboratory of Sensorimotor Research. He first began working with Dr. Leigh in the late 1970s when Dr. Leigh was at Hopkins as a fellow and then a faulty member.
