DESCRIPTION: Volume 5 of the revised series of the Handbook of Clinical Neurology deals with the disorders of movement, first covered in volume 6 of the original series, published in 1968. Since then advances in neurochemistry and molecular biology have led to the emergence of new concepts. The present volume serves as a state-of-the-art inventory, indispensable for the understanding of present and future developments.
