The book provides a clear overview of the process of neurodegeneration and introduces the reader to a new synthesis of ideas in these disorders as a brief introduction to the cell and molecular biology of the commonest neurodegenerative diseases. Succinct clinical information is given in a standardized format for easy access, including an algorithm at the end of each chapter to assist the reader in quickly and easily accessing key clinical features and diagnostic protocols. Comprises all the common neurodegenerative diseases, including conditions that may be misdiagnosed, and medical conditions that may mimic neurodegeneration to assist the reader in generating a differential diagnosis. Provides a framework for clinical management, with the introduction of a treatment matrix, based on the principles of palliative care for non-neoplastic disease as a guide to the management of end of life decisions, and to an approach towards those with impaired competence. Provides a summary of the most recent advances in the past 5 years, and the most likely advances in the coming 5 years for each condition to contextualize research for general readers.
