Description
Book SynopsisTremor is the most common movement disorder. The breadth of work remaining in tremor pathophysiology, etiology and treatment development does not render the area intractable; on the contrary, this is a dynamic, rich research area sure to continue its rapid growth. In Tremors, experts in the field come together to discuss the underpinnings of neurological tremors and recent clinical findings in treatment models. This volume is broken into the following sections: Tremor Foundations presents work across research modalities, providing an overview on the underpinnings of tremor as symptom and disease. Recent developments in the understanding of tremor pathology, pathophysiology, and genetics, aided by groundbreaking discoveries using neuroimaging techniques, allow glimpses into future breakthroughs to come. The Family of Tremors presents the full extended range of tremor presentations, spanning isolated tremors, tremor as one of several features of a neurological disorder, and other hyperki
