This volume provides a complete guide to advancements made in the understanding of Parkinson's disease and related neurodegenerative disorders. From information on early research conducted in the 1960's, to modern clinical views of these diseases, this handbook will give clinicians and neuroscientists a state-of-the-art reference that presents critical appraisals on recent developments in the study of these disorders. As the world population in developed countries ages, these observations are particularly relevant. Dramatic data on the genetic causes of dominant and recessive forms of hereditary Parkinson's disease are presented, as well as new knowledge on the differences in the intricate circuitry of basal ganglia in healthy individuals and those afflicted with Parkinson's. Clinicians will find this to be a great platform on which to base ongoing investigative approaches and research.

Neonatal Neurology, Volume 162 in the Handbook of Clinical Neurology, series updates the reader on the latest advances in the study of neurological diseases diagnosed in the fetal and neonatal periods. With recent advances in magnetic resonance imaging, digital electroencephalography recording, and genetic testing and diagnosis, there is expanding awareness relating to early onset neurological conditions and how their early diagnosis can improve prediction of outcome and subsequent neurodevelopmental outcome. This new volume covers diagnosis and management of congenital conditions, including brain malformations, neuromuscular conditions and genetic epilepsies, as well as acquired injury related to peri-partum events, prematurity, critical illness and systemic diseases. - Provides an in-depth understanding of the basic scientific research, translational research and clinical consensus across neonatal and fetal medicine - Explores how early neurological diagnosis can improve prediction of outcome and how management can improve subsequent neurodevelopmental outcome - Features chapters co-authored by two experts, combining expertise in both neonatal and fetal neurology
