Descripción

Motor System Disorders, Volume 195, Part One, Normal Physiology and Function and Neuromuscular Disorders summarizes recent advances and best practice for understanding normal physiology and function of the larger motor system as well as the diagnosis, course, and treatment of neuromuscular disorders. The work includes neuroanatomy, circuits, and synapses, and discusses how different parts of the brain contribute to motor control, including both vestibular and cerebellar motor control, as well as the influences of the parietal and frontal lobes. Diagnostic methods include genetic evaluation, electrodiagnosis, pathology, and brain imaging. Neuromuscular disorders of both children and adults are included.

Puntos claves

  • Identifies normal motor control physiology and function, including neuroanatomy, circuits, and synapses
  • Discusses vestibular and cerebral motor control and contributions of parietal and frontal lobes
  • Provides diagnostic methods, including genetic evaluation, electrodiagnosis, brain imaging, and pathology analyses
  • Summarizes the diagnosis, course, and best practice treatment of neuromuscular disorders
  • Explores neuromuscular disorders in adults and children

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). 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.
