Description
This volume in the Handbook of Clinical Neurology (Series Editors: Michael J. Aminoff, Department of Neurology, University of
California, San Francisco, USA; Fran ois Boller, Bethesda, USA; Dick F. Swaab, Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience, Amsterdam, the
Netherlands) on motor neuron disorders and related diseases deals with the remarkable advances that have occured in recent years in the
understanding of these disorders and their underlying molecular pathogenesis. An account is also provided of the general clinical features
and mangement of these devasting disorders, which will be invaluable to all those who care for patients affected by them.
