Clinical case studies have long been recognized as a useful adjunct to problem-based learning and continuing professional development. This book collects over 90 of the most memorable and challenging movement disorder cases from the world's leading authorities in this specialty. Compelling vignettes covering the entire phenomenology of movement disorders are presented succinctly but descriptively to walk the reader through the diagnostic process-much like being in the examining room with a master clinician. Each case follows a set format consisting of four sections: The Case; The Approach; The Lesson; Reference and Suggested Readings. Imaging findings and other illustrations amplify the discussion where pertinent.
A clear, comprehensive and practical account of the emotional and cognitive aspects of Parkinson's disease.
This book provides insights into the meaningful milestones of leaders and world experts in the field of movement disorders/neurology. Through the format of interview questions, it communicates the skills of key leaders in movement disorders. The interviewees are past and present leaders of the International Parkinson and Movement Disorders Society (IPMDS), which has grown from a young society into a strong successful organization. Their experiences reflect the nature of working in the global environment and diversity of this Society. The stories in this book have value that transcends a specific Society and will provide lessons in leadership that have application to many organizations around the world. This is a key resource for movement disorders experts, clinicians, scientists and young neurologists who are planning the next step in their career. It is also of interest to organizations who are facing the task of engaging and leading an international group of diverse participants.
This book emphasizes treatment options for Parkinson's disease, providing the necessary clinical and scientific basis for the foundations of solid therapeutics.

The basal ganglia constitute a group of subcortical structures, highly interconnected among themselves, as well as with the cerebral cortex, thalamus and other brain areas. These nuclei play a central role in the control of voluntary movement, and their specific pathology comprises the group of diseases known as movement disorders, including Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, dystonia and Gilles de la Tourette syndrome, among others.

Currently, the basal ganglia are thought to participate in cognitive, limbic and learning functions. Moreover, disorders rel...
