Therapeutics of Parkinson's Disease and Other Movement Disorders

Description:

This title provides comprehensive evidence-based overview of current therapies for PD and other movement disorders. It reviews basic neuropathology, mechanisms of neurodegeneration and principles of pharmacologic intervention. It explores parallels in pathophysiology and aetiology with correlates for therapy. It includes surgical intervention and implantable devices for neuromodulation.
