About this title

Synopsis

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.

• 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

About the Author

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). As Associate Editor of the Seminars in Neurology he prepared the 1st edition of his widely-acclaimed textbook, Motor Disorders, now in its 4th edition. 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. He is the author of Human Lyme Neuroborreliosis, Science of Medical Cannabis, The Vasculitides, and The Autoimmune Brain; and he has been Guest Editor of the multiple volumes of the Neurological Clinics. He has also authored more than 300 peer-reviewed articles, book chapters, correspondence and scientific abstracts on a wide variety of topics.
