Forensic Neuropathology

A timely update to a classic reference, this volume presents an encyclopedic exposition of neuropathological conditions that may have forensic import. It includes expanded sections on multiple trauma, one punch/one hit arterial injuries, and the physiology of respiratory control. It discusses the effect of Daubert and related Supreme Court cases on expert testimony admissibility. Several chapters examine the mechanisms and pathophysiology of neuropathological conditions and discuss the biomechanical basis for neurological injury. More than 325 updated, full-color images complement the text along with diagrams, tables, and figures that illustrate the textual material and can be useful as exhibits in court.
