This book unites the diverse range of complex neurodegenerative diseases into a textbook designed for clinical practice, edited by globally leading authorities on the subject.
- Presents a clinically oriented guide to the diseases caused by neurodegeneration
- Templated chapters combine clinical and research information on neurodegenerative diseases beginning with the common elements before treating each disease individually
- Diseases are grouped by anatomical regions of degeneration and include common disorders such as Parkinson’s Disease, Alzheimer’s Disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis/Motor Neuron Disease, and Multiple Sclerosis as well as less common diseases
- Edited by globally leading authorities on the subject, and written by expert contributing authors
