About this book

This Handbook discusses the pathology, etiology, pathogenesis, and therapeutic interventions of different neurodegenerative diseases. The initial section of the Handbook reviews the recent advances in understanding neurodegenerative diseases and the commonalities and differences between the major pathologies. The subsequent section presents recent developments in understanding fundamental biological mechanisms that influence the onset and development of neurodegenerative diseases. It provides current biomedical studies that are aimed at identifying the underlying causes of neurodegeneration. The book also examines the recent observations from biological, cellular, and studies from the model organisms for gaining mechanistic insights into neurodegenerative disorders. It also presents the epidemiological and genetics studies relevant to clinical aspects of neurodegenerative diseases. The book's subsequent chapters offer new and more effective therapeutic strategies to combat these devastating diseases. Towards the end, the Handbook presents recent advances in molecular diagnostics for neurodegenerative disorders and a perspective on the future directions to provide a framework for further developments and refinements of molecular diagnostics to combat neurodegenerative diseases.
