Tremor is intimately linked to the numerous interactions of the central and peripheral nervous system components tuning motor control, from the cerebral cortex up to the peripheral effectors. Activities of central generators, reflex loop delays, inertia, stiffness and damping are all factors influencing features of tremor. This book discusses the pathophysiology of tremor including membrane mechanisms and rodent models, the advances in genetics and the musculoskeletal models pertinent to body oscillations. The main forms of tremor encountered during clinical practice are considered, taking into account neuroimaging aspects. The book covers recent advances in methodologies and techniques of assessment, and provides ... Read more

Reviews for Mechanisms and Emerging Therapies in Tremor Disorders
“This is an outstanding book concerning the timing mechanisms of resting, action, and hereditary aspects of dystonias, Parkinson’s disease, Multiple Sclerosis, etc. … I highly recommend this book for researchers and students at the beginning and experienced levels. Neurophysiologists, neurosurgeons, neurologists, and muscle physiologists will likely benefit from this atlas/text formats.” (Joseph J. Grenier, Amazon.com, June, 2015) “This authoritative ...
