English
Lysosomal Pathophysiology of Parkinson’s Disease delves into the genetic and genomic revelations that have transformed our understanding of Parkinson’s Disease at the molecular level. The book highlights the critical role of the autophagy-lysosome pathway in the disease's pathogenic processes, drawing a comprehensive timeline of disease onset and progression. It offers a detailed examination of how disruptions in this pathway contribute to the hallmarks of Parkinson’s Disease, providing invaluable insights for researchers and clinicians alike. Subsequent chapters extend these insights by comparing Parkinson’s Disease to other neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s Disease and Frontotemporal Dementia. By exploring protein pathology and synaptic alterations, the book underscores the broader implications of autophagy-lysosome dysfunction. Additionally, it discusses how the molecular perspectives gleaned from Parkinson’s Disease can inform our understanding of these other conditions, presenting a unified approach to studying neurodegeneration.

Pediatric Deep Brain Stimulation
1st Edition
George M. Ibrahim + 1 more
English
Pediatric Deep Brain Stimulation offers the first comprehensive, multi-disciplinary exploration of this rapidly advancing field, providing clinicians with an authoritative guide to the science, practice, and future of pediatric neuromodulation.Orga... into four integrated sections, the book begins with the essentials of a pediatric DBS program—including state-of-the-art imaging, peri-operative management, complication avoidance, and ethical considerations unique to the developing brain. Subsequent chapters examine the use of DBS across the spectrum of childhood movement disorders, from monogenic and acquired dystonias to non-dystonic conditions. A dedicated section addresses neuromodulation for pediatric epilepsy, with a focus on emerging technologies. The book concludes with cutting-edge applications of DBS in neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric disorders and a view toward the integration of neuroengineering to expand the reach and future potential of circuit-based interventions in children.Edited by a pediatric movement disorders neurologist and a pediatric functional neurosurgeon who together direct an integrative, comprehensive pediatric DBS program, this volume brings a uniquely collaborative perspective and deep clinical expertise. It is an essential resource for neurosurgeons, neurologists, epileptologists, pediatric specialists, and researchers committed to advancing care for children with severe neurological disease.
