This volume provides readers with an overview of translational paths that can be used to study the pathophysiology of Parkinson’s Disease and atypical parkinsonism, including molecular processes, tissue integrity, and cerebral networks during inflammatory and neurodegenerative processes. The chapters in this book are organized into three parts and cover topics such as new developments of cerebral circuit characterizations and computational neuroscience for the description of the brain’s transition through disease stages; static and dynamic systemic changes with clinical and functional outcome measures; and atypical syndromes such as neurodegenerations, immunological processes, and progressive disease states. In the Neuromethods series style, chapters include the kind of detail and key advice from the specialists needed to get successful results in your laboratory.Cutting-edge and comprehensive, Translational Methods for Parkinson’s Disease and Atypical Parkinsonism Research is a valuable resource that provides a new perspective on the disease from a scientific and clinical point of view, and highlights the importance of available and emerging technologies.

This book provides insights into the meaningful milestones of leaders and world experts in the field of movement disorders/neurology. The interviewees are past and present leaders of the International Parkinson and Movement Disorders Society (IPMDS), which has grown from a young society into a strong successful organization.

and ethical and legal aspects of genetic testing in a clinical and research setting.The first section includes chapters on genetic analysis and counselling with critical discussion of potential problems when interpreting the results.
