Description for Neurodegeneration: The Molecular Pathology of Dementia and Movement Disorders
Hardback. Most textbooks on neurodegenerative disorders have used a classification scheme based upon either clinical syndromes or anatomical distribution of the pathology. In contrast, this book looks to the future and uses a classification based upon molecular mechanisms, rather than clinical or anatomical boundaries. Editor(s): Dickson, Dennis; Weller, Roy O. Num Pages: 496 pages, Illustrations (mostly colour). BIC Classification: MJND. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 281 x 218 x 31. Weight in Grams: 1742.
Most textbooks on neurodegenerative disorders have used a classification scheme based upon either clinical syndromes or anatomical distribution of the pathology. In contrast, this book looks to the future and uses a classification based upon molecular mechanisms, rather than clinical or anatomical boundaries. Major advances in molecular genetics and the application of biochemical and immunocytochemical techniques to neurodegenerative disorders have generated this new approach. Throughout most of the current volume, diseases are clustered according to the proteins that accumulate within cells (e.g. tau, α-synuclein and TDP-43) and in the extracellular compartments (e.g. β-amyloid and prion proteins) or according to a ...

Reviews for Neurodegeneration: The Molecular Pathology of Dementia and Movement Disorders
“Overall, this textbook provides useful and systematic information on the basic mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases. It will provide useful for resident trainees, neurologists and pathologists.” (Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences, 1 November 2012)
