The Molecular Pathology of Neurodegenerative Disease brings together the current understanding of the molecular basis of neurodegeneration in humans in a form that is targeted not only for neuroscientists, but also for graduate students in neuroscience and the biomedical and biological sciences. There are a large number of existing books covering this subject that are aimed at a clinical audience (both at undergraduate and higher level), however the increasing interest in neurodegeneration for more basic science courses neuroscientists, biologists, pharmacists and so forth - highlight the need for a book tailored for this audience.
