Throughout most of the current volume, diseases are clustered according to the proteins that accumulate within cells (e.g. tau, α-synuclein and \u003cst1:stockticker w:st=\"on\"\u003eTDP\u003c\/st1:stockticker\u003e-43) and in the extracellular compartments (e.g. β-amyloid and prion proteins) or according to a shared pathogenetic mechanism, such as trinucleotide repeats, that are a feature of specific genetic disorders. Chapters throughout the book conform to a standard lay-out for ease of access by the reader and are written by a panel of International Experts  \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Since the first edition of this book, major advances have been made in the discovery of common molecular mechanisms between many neurodegenerative diseases most notably in the frontotemporal lobar degenerations (FTLD) and motor neuron disease or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.  \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This book will be essential reading for clinicians, neuropathologists and basic neuroscientists who require the firm up-to-date knowledge of mechanisms, diagnostic pathology and genetics of Neurodegenerative diseases that is required for progress in therapy and management.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cp\u003eVolume Editor: \u003cstrong\u003eDr. Dennis W.
