About this book

A comprehensive review of what is known not only about the cause and treatment of atypical parksonian disorders, but also the issues that clinicians, researchers, patients, and caregivers face in dealing with them. The authors cover the basic science (history, epidemiology, genetics, pathology, nosology, computer modeling, and animal models), detailed clinical and laboratory assessments, and available diagnostic tools, including neuropsychiatric, neurologic, neuropsychologic, speech, electrophysiologic, and imaging evaluations. Current and future therapeutic approaches are also detailed, along with extensive discussions about future research directions.

Reviews

From the reviews:

"The present book is a comprehensive and updated review on APD by a large panel of international experts. … Practical tables and diagrams and histopathological and MRI images are found throughout the book. … an authoritative masterpiece that provides a large overview on these devastating disorders. … This modern and comprehensive volume should be interesting for all neurologists and researchers interested in parkinsonian syndromes and other movement disorders." (Emmanuel Broussolle, European Neurology, April, 2006)
