Inhaltsangabe

Never in history has there been greater hope that novel experimental therapies can support significant restoration of brain function. The field of restorative therapies in Parkinson’s disease has passed the initial phase of pioneering experimental and clinical trials. There still does not exist restorative therapy that can be applied in large numbers of patients, but the initial trials have provided us with fundamental insight into the potential for plasticity in the diseased brain. This book gives an overview of the current state-of-the-art research for brain repair, what the challenges are and an indication of what research can provide for the next generation of people with Parkinson’s disease.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Parkinson’s disease is a common and devastating progressive disorder that primarily affects motor function. In this exciting and timely book, novel approaches to repairing the parkinsonian brain are described by some of the world’s leading scientists and clinicians in the field. Dealing with cutting-edge research, it covers several important topics including medical ethics, clinical trial design, stem cell biology, intracerebral transplantation, brain imaging, neurotrophic factors and neural regeneration. The comprehensive chapters are geared to an audience of neuroscientists, neurologists, neurosurgeons and anyone interested in how findings in the research laboratory can effectively be transferred to the clinic. Restorative therapies in Parkinson’s disease have pioneered translational research in the area of brain repair for close to three decades. This book clearly shows that research in Parkinson’s disease continues to play a leading role and can provide a model for how functional restoration might be achieved in several brain disorders in the future.
