Baloh and Honrubia's Clinical Neurophysiology of the Vestibular System

<br>"This thoroughly updated and expanded fourth edition of Clinical Neurophysiology of the Vestibular System represents a significant contribution to the understanding of the vestibular system in health and disease. A comprehensive knowledge on the physiology and pathophysiology of the human balance system is essential for the diagnosis and treatment of patients with vestibular dysfunction. By covering all these aspects along with the clinical context, Drs. Baloh and Kerber are truly in the tradition of Robert Barany, who founded the discipline of clinical neurotology more than hundred years ago. The clearly written text and the illustrative graphic design make this book a valuable reference tool for physicians, clinical specialists, and researchers alike. With its meanwhile fourth edition, Clinical Neurophysiology of the Vestibular System is sure to become a classic in its field." --Gerald Wiest, MD, Department of Neurology, Medical University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria <br>"They

<br>Robert W. Baloh, MD, FAAN is Director of the Neuro-Ontology program in the Department of Neurology at the Reed Neurological Institute, University of California, Los Angeles in Los Angeles, CA. <br>Kevin A. Kerber, MD, is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Neurology at the University of Michigan Health Systems. Dr. Kerber joined the UM faculty in 2005, and currently directs the Department of Neurology Dizziness Clinic. Dr. Kerber's research and clinical interests center on the presentation of dizziness, which include a number of disorders that typically involve the cerebellum, brain stem, or peripheral vestibular structures. His previous research with Dr. Baloh led to important discoveries about balance disorders in the elderly, inherited and sporadic ataxia syndromes, and oculomotor physiology. Dr. Kerber's current research focus is using health services research approaches to optimize patient care and health care utilization for dizziness presentations. His work is supported by a National Institutes of Health (NIH) K23 research grant (K23RR024009) and an Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) R18 research grant (R18HS017690).<br>
