This book brings the neurosciences to aviation and is concerned with the physiology, pathology and clinical aspects of exposure to altitude (including mountaineering), linear and angular accelerations, and circadian desynchrony.

With this integration the implications of disorders of the central nervous system to aircrew are explored and current management and therapeutics discussed
