The construction of knowledge in neurology: implications for hypermedia system development

This paper describes some elements of routine practice in neurology. How neurologists link CNS structure and function poses technical and conceptual issues for hypertext developers. These issues, particularly the need for developers to better understand routine thought and action in medicine, are taken up here.
