Clinical Neurophysiology at the Beginning of the 21st Century: 11th International Congress of Electromyography and Clinical Neurophysiology, Prague, ... Neurophysiology. Supplement, No. 53.)

Hardbound. At the end of the 20th Century we have seen dramatic developments in our understanding of nervous system diseases, many at the molecular genetic level, with corresponding refinements in diagnostic ability. The various fields of clinical neurophysiology have experienced many technical advances; at the same time enormous progress in imaging techniques and molecular biology has been made which produce ever-increasing opportunities for the development of effective therapies.The book provides a unique opportunity to have a global view of the actual role of clinical neurophysiology, going from the extreme periphery of the nervous system to the highly sophisticated brain processes, to judge our position at the end of the 20th Century and our goals for the beginning of the New Millennium in the diagnosis, prognosis and management of peripheral and central nervous system disorders.
