Background

The book began in 1955 as a sole author publication by its originator H. Houston Merritt, and has had a total of 6 editors or co-editors since its inception, including H. Houston Merritt (Editions 1-6 until his death in 1979), Lewis P. Rowland (Eds 7-13 until his death in 2017), Timothy A. Pedley (2010), and currently Louis (2016–present), Mayer (2016–present), and Noble (2021-present).

Since its first edition, Merritt's Neurology has remained a central text in clinical neurology, providing unparalleled guidance on neurologic protocols, treatment guidelines, clinical pathways, therapeutic recommendations, and imaging. The current, 14th edition, has been selected as a Doody's Core Title for 2022 and 2023. In 2022, Doody's gave the 14th Edition of Merritt's a 4 star rating (along with a 93 score), calling it "the neurological equivalent to Harrison's Principles of Medicine."
