Editorial Reviews
Review
From the reviews of the third edition:
“The author provides the reader with an easy-to-read overview of IOM technology and background involved in monitoring the nervous system with evoked potentials (EPs) and electromyography (EMG). … This book will be useful especially for IOM technologists and monitorists, for whom it can serve as an introductory text. It also will be useful for surgeons who use monitoring in their cases, who may find this an instructive way to better understand the IOM techniques and their limitations.” (Marc R. Nuwer, Surgical Neurology International, Vol. 3, 2012)

About the author
Dr. Aage R. Møller has a medical degree (D. Med. Sci.) from the Karolinska Institut (School of Medicine) in Stockholm, Sweden where he spent 13 years in the position of "Docent" (Assistant Professor). After that he immigrated to the USA together with his wife, Margareta B. Møller, MD, D. Med. Sci., both to take positions at the Department of Otolaryngology, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, and later at the Department of Neurological Surgery. Dr. Aage Møller spent 19 years doing research and teaching, most recently in the position as Professor of Neurological Surgery. In 1978 both Møllers moved to Dallas, Texas, Dr. Aage Møller for a position at The University of Texas at Dallas where he got the Endowed Margret Fonde Jonsson Professorship in Cognition and Neuroscience in the School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences. He is now the Founders Professor in the The University of Texas at Dallas School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences.
Dr. Aage Møller is the (single) author of fourteen books on auditory science, intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring and neuroscience. He is an editor or co-editor of nine published books, author or co-author of 202 articles in refereed journals, and the author of 110 book chapters. He was editor-in-chief and founder of the international journal, 'Hearing Research,' from 1978 to 2005 and is associated with the editorial boards of several other international journals. He is now involved in research on tinnitus and he is Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Tinnitus Research Initiative Foundation, an international organization based in Regensburg, Germany;: it now has a branch in the USA.

Except the first chapter of the book, which provides the introduction and background knowledge of the field, this book is divided into six parts. Part I demonstrates the general principles and basis of intraoperative monitoring, the basic knowledge of the forms of electrical activity that can be recorded with different methods the practical discussion of recording evoked activity from nerves, nuclei, and fiber tracts, and a series of stimulus techniques. Part II reviews basic anatomic and physiologic knowledge and the monitoring of sensory systems including somatosensory, auditory, and visual systems. Part III focuses on motor system. It discusses thoroughly the anatomy and physiology of both the lateral and medial systems then focuses on practical aspects of monitoring the spinal motor and cranial motor systems. Part IV discusses the anatomy, physiology, and practical monitoring aspects of peripheral nerves. Part III and Part IV both includes a great portion of extended and newly added information, such as the monitoring of the spinal motor system, deep brain stimulation, as well as the peripheral nerves. Part V introduces the use of neurophysiology in the operating room discussing the methods to guide surgeons in operations. Part VI gives attention to practical aspects of intraoperative monitoring including a detailed description of the effect of anesthesia on neurophysiologic techniques in the operating room and solutions to reduce these effects The last two chapters of Part VI mention equipment and data analysis related to intraoperative monitoring and the importance of evaluation of the benefits to everybody in the operating room from the use of intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring.
Intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring is essential in improving the quality of lives. It appears to me that it is especially important to discuss the influence of anesthesia on neurophysiologic monitoring in operations. Inappropriate anesthesia process may cause no-response during monitoring. The author suggests that the person who is responsible for monitoring should communicate with the anesthesiologist to obtain information regarding the type of anesthesia that is to be used, changes in the anesthesia during the operation, and drugs may be administered during the operation. Besides the suggestion on anesthesia, the practical suggestions throughout the whole book contain valuable information, which is obtained from the author's long-term clinical experience and intraoperative research. Therefore, this book can truly benefit neurologists, neurosurgeons, neurophysiologists, and those who want to have a thorough understanding of the anatomy, physiology, and monitoring of different neural systems. Therefore, this book is a valuable resource to neurosurgeons and neurologists involved in the intraoperative monitoring of patients with diverse neurosurgical conditions.
