Summary:Over the last ten years there has been a quantum leap in our understanding of the mechanisms which drive Parkinson's disease. Frustratingly, this new research has not yet managed to infiltrate mainstream medical and public perceptions of the illness, where Parkinson's disease is still seen purely as a dopamine deficiency condition. It is hoped that this book will give the reader an accessible insight into these exciting new discoveries. What is becoming clear is that Parkinson's disease is a complex multi-factorial disease where many ill-functioning aspects of health intersect leading to a failure of dopamine producing neurons. To seek a single cause amongst such complexity is likely to be futile but, hopefully, the themes in this book may help the reader to see the emergent patterns associated with Parkinson's disease-WorldCat
