Neonatal Neurology

• Provides an in-depth understanding of the basic scientific research, translational research and clinical consensus across neonatal and fetal medicine
• Explores how early neurological diagnosis can improve prediction of outcome and how management can improve subsequent neurodevelopmental outcome
• Features chapters co-authored by two experts, combining expertise in both neonatal and fetal neurology
