Couverture de l’ouvrage Neurodegeneration
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
