Neurobehavioral Aspects of Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis is one of the most common neurological diseases affecting young and middle-aged adults, and while much is known about its classic motor and sensory symptoms, it has only been during the past decade, with the advent of specialized neuropsychological test procedures and brain imaging methods, that the cognitive and behavioural changes associated with the disorder have come to be better understood. This book charts that recent progress. It provides a balanced, interdisciplinary view, covering the prevalence, range, type, and course of cognitive and affective disturbances in multiple sclerosis. The book will be of value to physicians and psychologists who deal with MS patients. It will update their knowledge of the disease and its ramifications, and will help in communicating this information to patients and their families.Rao, Stephen M. is the author of 'Neurobehavioral Aspects of Multiple Sclerosis' with ISBN 9780195054002 and ISBN 0195054008.
