Elsevier Autoimmune Neurology (Handbook of Clinical Neurology Vol 133)

Autoimmune Neurology (Volume 133) provides essential updates on autoimmune neurologic disease. This volume explores the immune response where the body's immune system attacks its own organs, a process that serves as a main element in many nervous system diseases. These conditions can target any structure within the central or peripheral nervous system. Readers will find information regarding the significant advances made over the past 20 years in understanding the pathophysiology of autoimmune disorders. The text covers how the use of biomarkers has led to new options for both diagnosis and treatment. This resource is particularly useful for understanding neurologic conditions associated with autoimmune reactions, including dementia. As part of the Handbook of Clinical Neurology series from Elsevier, this volume serves as a specialized guide for those studying the complexities of the immune system's impact on neurological health.
