The Cerebellum: From Embryology to Diagnostic Investigations (eBook, ePUB)

Handbook of Clinical Neurology Series

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The Cerebellum: From Embryology to Diagnostic Investigations, Volume 154 is designed to update the reader on the latest and clinically relevant advances in the study of cerebellar diseases in children and adults. It is organized into sections detailing: (1) Embryology, Anatomy and Function, and (2) Diagnostic investigations: Neuroimaging, and includes content on conventional sequences, diffusion tensor imaging, functional MRI, and connectivity studies. Its companion volume, The Cerebellum: Disorders and Treatment, describes disorders (starting from the fetal cerebellum, to adult cerebellum) encountered during daily practice and therapy (including insights into innovative drug and rehabilitative approaches to treat children and adults with cerebellar disorders).

• Provides an in-depth understanding of the cerebellum and its involvement in a wide variety of diseases
• Explores the long-term outcome data of pediatric cerebellar diseases and potential problems in adult life for patients with pediatric cerebellar diseases
• Features chapters co-authored by two experts, combining expertise in both pediatric and adult cerebellar diseases
