Description for Parkinson's Disease
Hardback. Describes the major techniques employed in molecular and cellular studies of Parkinson's disease and basal ganglia function. This work covers varied methods including genetic analyses, molecular pathogenetic investigations of dopaminergic neuronal degeneration, biochemical studies of nigro-striatal neural circuitry, and molecular therapies. Editor(s): Mouradian, M.Maral. Series: Methods in Molecular Medicine. Num Pages: 317 pages, biography. BIC Classification: MJN. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 19. Weight in Grams: 721.
Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder charact- ized clinically by tremor, rigidity, slow movements, and postural instability. Pathologically, dopaminergic neurons of the substantia nigra bear the brunt of the degeneration, though other neuronal groups can be affected as well. Although Parkinson’s disease is the only neurodegenerative disorder for which effective therapies are available, these treatment options are only symptomatic, do not influence the underlying degenerative process, and are associated with a high incidence of complications, particularly with their long-term use. The progressive nature of the disease and the limitations of its palliative therapies result in significant functional impairment. The ... Read more

Reviews for Parkinson's Disease
"The most unique feature of this book is the detail in which the molecular methods are described. Each author has provided detailed information about his or her methodology, including equipment and reagents used. The book is divided into four large sections: genetics, molecular pathogenetic studies, molecular studies of the basal ganglia, and molecular therapies. . .This is a fairly unique ... Read more
