Nonlinear Dynamics of Parkinson's Disease and the Basal Ganglia-Thalamic-Cortical System

By Erwin B Montgomery Jr, Olivier Darbin, Erwin B. Montgomery Jr. MD

Nonlinear Dynamics of Parkinson's Disease and the Basal Ganglia-Thalamic-Cortical System critically examines current research regarding the operations of the basal ganglia-thalamic-cortical system that causes neurological disorders such as 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 these facts and current advancements. This book introduces the readers to 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.
