Therapeutics of Parkinson's Disease and Other Movement Disorders

Mark Hallett, MD, Senior Investigator at National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), Chief of the Medical Neurology Branch and Chief of Human Motor Control Section; Editor-in-Chief of Clinical Neurophysiology; Associate Editor of Brain. Werner Poewe, Chairman of the Department of Neurology at Medical University of Innsbruck; Editorial board member of Movement Disorder, Journal of Neurology, Journal of Neural Transmission, and Aktuelle Neurologie.

"This book can be strongly recommended and is an asset to libraries of both movement disorder specialists and general neurologists. Its logical structure, linking therapy with underlying pathophysiology, means that it will remain a useful reference even as new therapies inevitably emerge." (The Lancet Neurology, July 2009)
