This book brings together a group of leading academics and practicing clinicians to provide an overview of the nature of NBD, considering how it translates into social handicap, and what can be done to address associated problems, through social and behavioural rehabilitation, vocational training, and family education.

This is a broad-ranging review of the current research on Alzheimer's disease and other dementias from both basic neuroscience and clinical perspectives. It provides scientists and medical professionals with an extensive introduction and an up-to-date review of cutting-edge scientific advances in a single volume.

Now in two colours throughout, this new edition of LectureNotes: Neurology contains the core neurologicalinformation required, whichever branch of clinical medicine youchoose. Reflecting current clinical practice, the latest advancesin the diagnosis and management of neurological diseases areconcisely covered.

Evidence-based, peer reviewed, best practice management guidelines for neurologists Diagnosis is only part of the puzzle. Effective treatment is what your patients really want. The European Federation of Neurological Societies has been publishing management guidelines in the European Journal of Neurology for many years.

Neurological diseases present challenging management issues. Patients vary widely in the symptoms that need to be controlled and in their response to different treatments. Evidence continuously accumulates on the effectiveness of different approaches; new treatments regularly enter the market.

Effective stroke therapy can be improved through real-time monitoring of the neurological and cardiovascular responses to treatment.

Most textbooks on neurodegenerative disorders have used a classification scheme based upon either clinical syndromes or anatomical distribution of the pathology. In contrast, this book looks to the future and uses a classification based upon molecular mechanisms, rather than clinical or anatomical boundaries.

Focuses on how knowing functional neuroanatomy is essential for a neurologic background for patient care in neurology. This title features 100 clinical cases to highlight the relevance of anatomical knowledge in this body area, and illustrates the principles of localization.
