Motor System Disorders, Volume 196, Part Two, Spinal Cord, Neurodegenerative, and Cerebral Disorders and Treatment provides a comprehensive review of research and best practice clinical management of spinal cord, neurodegenerative, and cerebral disorders. Encompassing hereditary and acquired disorders from disease and accident, the book explores motor control disorders associated with stroke, dementia, seizure, encephalitis, and more. Covering disorders of both children and adults, the book discusses the latest advances in treatments related to neuroplasticity, neural tissue transplantation, and immunotherapy.
- Summarizes assessment, disease course, and best practice treatment
- Includes hereditary disorders and disorders from disease or accident
- Discusses advances in neuroplasticity, tissue transplantation, immunotherapy, and other treatments
- Reviews effects of dementia, stroke, seizure, encephalitis, cancer, and more

David S. Younger
David S. Younger MD DrPH, MPH MS, Affiliate Professor of Neuroscience at City University of New York Medical School and Attending Physician at White Plains Hospital, NY, has vast experience in both clinical and academic neurology and public health. He mentors students at his alma mater Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons. He has been Board certified in Neurology, Internal Medicine, Electrodiagnostic Medicine (AANEM) and Neurophysiology (ABCN). As Associate Editor of the Seminars in Neurology he prepared the 1st edition of his widely-acclaimed textbook, Motor Disorders, now in its 4th edition. He is best recognized as a highly trained electrophysiologist and neuromuscular specialist. For the past decade his work has focused on autoimmunity of the nervous system and the use of immunotherapy and most recently, in COVID-19 neurological illnesses. He is the author of Human Lyme Neuroborreliosis, Science of Medical Cannabis, The Vasculitides, and The Autoimmune Brain; and he has been Guest Editor of the multiple volumes of the Neurological Clinics. He has also authored more than 300 peer-reviewed articles, book chapters, correspondence and scientific abstracts on a wide variety of topics.
