Cover of Patrik Brundin & C. Warren Olanow: Restorative Therapies in Parkinson's Disease (PDF)

In this exciting and timely book new approaches to repairing the parkinsonian brain are described by leading experts. Never in history has there been greater hope that novel experimental therapies can support significant restoration of brain function. This book gives an overview of the current state-of-the-art research for brain repair, what the challenges are and an indication of what research can provide for the next generation of people with Parkinson’s disease. The comprehensive chapters are geared to an audience of neuroscientists, neurologists, neurosurgeons and anyone interested in how findings in the research laboratory can effectively be transferred to the clinic.
