Summary

Degenerative Disorders of the Brain explores a wide range of age-related neurological conditions that affect behaviour and brain function. Covering disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and Huntington’s disease, the book delves into the frontostriatal and fronto-cerebellar brain systems, explaining how these can deteriorate with age. It addresses behavioural, clinical, pathophysiological, and technical perspectives, and discusses innovative intervention methods like transcranial magnetic stimulation and deep brain stimulation, as well as the roles of epigenetics and neural plasticity.

Description

Covering a wide range of diverse age-related disorders, Degenerative Disorders of the Brain addresses disabilities that occur or have their roots in the later stages of life. The book brings together an internationally recognised group of contributors to discuss frontostriatal, fronto-cerebellar, and other major brain systems and structures which control and direct normal behaviour, and which can fail during the ageing process. It addresses behavioural, clinical, pathophysiological, and technical aspects.

Discussing the latest clinical and behavioural findings of disorders which are largely, though not necessarily entirely, age-related— including Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, Parkinson’s disease and related disorders, and Huntington’s disease— the book covers information vital to the understanding, diagnosis, and management of degenerative disorders of the brain. It also considers the role of epigenetics, neural plasticity, and environmental enrichment in neurodegenerative disorders alongside the role of ground-breaking intervention methods, including transcranial magnetic stimulation and deep brain stimulation.

Degenerative Disorders of the Brain will be of great interest to, and use for, clinicians, researchers, students, lecturers, and affected individuals and their relatives.
