This volume
provides a comprehensive and scholarly accounting of motor neuron disorders, a
group of diseases that are both clinically and genetically diverse. Clinicians
and neuroscientists alike will find invaluable research and information on
recent advancements that have occurred in the understanding of these disorders.
From
specific discussions of their underlying molecular pathogenesis, to
advancements in therapies and diagnosis, users will find a resource that
presents a comprehensive understanding of the general clinical features and
management of these devastating disorders. In addition, new tactics that can be
used to enhance patient care are also presented and discussed.
Specific
chapters within the volume include discussions pertaining to the historical
aspects of motor neuron diseases, comparative anatomy, physiology, and
development of the corticospinal system, and discussions of spinal muscular
atrophies, amongst others. In addition, symptomatic therapy and the palliative
aspects of clinical patient care are also presented.
* A scholarly accounting of new research in motor neuron disorders and their associated diseases
