Genetics, Neurology, Behavior, and Diet in Parkinsons Disease: The Neuroscience of Parkinsons, Volume 2

The Neuroscience of Parkinson's Disease: Diagnosis and Management provides a single source of material covering different scientific domains of neuropathology underlying this condition. It covers a wide range of subjects and unravels the complex relationships between genetics, molecular biology, pharmaceutical chemistry, neurobiology, imaging, assessments and treatment regimens. It fills a much-needed gap as a one-stop synopsis of everything to do with the neurology and neuroscience related to Parkinson's disease: from chemicals and cells to individuals. It is an invaluable resource for neuroscientists, neurologists, and anyone in the field. The most comprehensive coverage of the broad range of topics related to Parkinson's diseaseServes as a foundational collection for neuroscientists and neurologists on the biology of disease and brain dysfunctionContains in each chapter an abstract, key facts, mini dictionary of terms, and summary points to aid in understandingPreclinical and clinical studies will help researchers map out key areas for research and further clinical recommendationsA one-stop source for everything you need to know about Parkinson's disease INDICE: Section 1: Parkinson's Disease: Introductory Chapters  1.
