About the Author

Author Michael O’Brien has conscientiously looked after this title since 1977 (on behalf Guarantors of the Brain journal) and is hugely respected in this field. (e.g. Gray’s Editor-in-Chief Susan Standring is a big admirer of his work – praise indeed! – relying that he’s affectionately known in the field as ‘The Spider’?!)
