The field ofneurodegenerative diseases is undergoing an unprecedented revolution. The past decade has seen the identification of new mutation mecha- nisms, such as triplet repeat expansions, and new genes causing familial forms of common neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases. Cellular and animal models based on this genetic information are now available and, importantly, common mechanisms are rapidly emerging among diseases that were once considered unrelated. The field is poised for the development of new therapies based on high throughput screenings and a bet- ter understanding of the molecular and cellular mechanisms leading to neurodegeneration.

Reviews for Molecular Mechanisms of Neurodegenerative Diseases
"The reviews are well-written and well-edited so that they are accessible to both the researcher and non-researcher. The reviews examine a variety of current hypotheses as to the nature of neurodegeneration in a variety of conditions. . .This is a well-written book. Although no clear answers emerge, it shows the power of modern molecular methods in examining the underlying ... Read more
