Description
Summary:Nonlinear Dynamics of Parkinson's Disease and the Basal Ganglia-Thalamic-Cortical System examines current research regarding the operations of the basal ganglia-thalamic-cortical system that causes neurological disorders like Parkinson's disease. While there have been remarkable advances in the understanding of the anatomy, physiology and chemistry of these systems, there remains a significant degree of inconsistency and incompleteness between facts and advancements. This book introduces the novel concepts of nonlinear complex systems and their connection to Parkinsonism as well as hyperkinetic disorders. The actual mechanisms underlying the motor disorders of Parkinson's disease at the level of the lower motor neuron are also discussed.
