Recent Advances in Parkinsons Disease. Part II: Translational and Clinical Research. Progress in Brain Research Volume 184

  • Book

  • October 2010
  • Elsevier Science and Technology
  • ID: 1770392

This second volume follows on from Part I by reviewing the variety of animal models of PD current available (from drosophila to rodents to non-human primate species) and their specific contributions to PD research. This is followed by comprehensive coverage of functional neuroimaging studies that explore different pathophysiological questions and evaluate treatment outcome in PD patients. Different areas of experimental therapeutics and outstanding challenges to PD treatment are presented in a concluding group of articles.
