The Molecular Pathology of Neurodegenerative Disease

The Molecular Pathology of Neurodegenerative Disease brings together in one volume our current understanding of the molecular basis of neurodegeneration in humans, targeted at neuroscientists and graduate students in neuroscience, and the biomedical and biological sciences. There are a large number of existing books covering this subject aimed at a clinical audience (both at undergraduate and higher level), however the increasing interest in neurodegeneration for more basic science courses - neuroscientists, biologists, pharmacists and so forth - highlight the need for a book tailored for this audience. Provides an up-to-date summary to our current understanding of neurodegeneration at a molecular, cellular and tissue level for the most common human disordersIncludes clinical vignettes, so that basic science students can relate underlying molecular processes to clinical symptomsProvides background on the history of neurodegenerationHighlights the state-of-the-art treatment options for each disorderIncludes examples of cutting edge experimental systems for investigating these disorders (e.g. optogenetics, human pluripotent stem cell derived neuronal models) INDICE: 1. Introduction to Neurodegeneration 2. Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia 3. Parkinson's Disease and Related Movement Disorders 4. Motor Neuron Diseases 5. The Prion Diseases 6. Huntington's Chorea 7. Multiple Sclerosis
