Full Description
This issue reviews the role of metals in neurodegenerative diseases; including Parkinson's and Huntington's disease; restless leg syndrome and NBIA disorders; and Wilson's disease and manganese and calcium accumulation disorders. An update on advances in neuroimaging and pathology of metal related disease is also presented.
