Recent Advances in the use of Drosophila in Neurobiology and Neurodegeneration

by Elsevier Science

Overview

Published since 1959, International Review of Neurobiology is a well-known series appealing to neuroscientists, clinicians, psychologists, physiologists, and pharmacologists. Led by an internationally renowned editorial board, this important serial publishes both eclectic volumes made up of timely reviews and thematic volumes that focus on recent progress in a specific area of neurobiology research. This volume reviews existing theories and current research surrounding the movement disorder Dyskinesia.

• Leading authors review state-of-the-art in their field of investigation and provide their views and perspectives for future research
• Chapters are extensively referenced to provide readers with a comprehensive list of resources on the topics covered
• All chapters include comprehensive background information and are written in a clear form that is also accessible to the non-specialist
