Synopsis

This volume focuses on abnormalities arising from disorders affecting the basal ganglia, such as Parkinson's disease, Huntington's chorea, ballism, dystonia and myoclonus. Insights into the aetiology, pathophysiology, neuropharmacology and treatment of these diseases are presented. The use of new techniques in man have enabled studies of the structure and functions of the basal ganglia from the first appearance of disease, so providing an opportunity to examine and compare basal ganglia physiology and pharmacology under normal and diseased conditions.
