This volume provides readers with an overview of translational paths that can be used to study the pathophysiology of Parkinson's Disease and atypical parkinsonism, including molecular processes, tissue integrity, and cerebral networks during inflammatory and neurodegenerative processes. The chapters in this book are organized into three parts and cover topics such as new developments of cerebral circuit characterizations and computational neuroscience for the description of the brain's transition through disease stages; static and dynamic systemic changes with clinical and functional outcome measures; and atypical syndromes such as neurodegenerations, immunological processes, and progressive disease states. In the Neuromethods series style, chapters include the kind of detail and key advice from the specialists needed to get successful results in your laboratory.
Cutting-edge and comprehensive, Translational Methods for Parkinson's Disease and Atypical Parkinsonism Research is a valuable resource that provides a new perspective on the disease from a scientific and clinical point of view, and highlights the importance of available and emerging technologies.
