Reviews

"The editors have succeeded in creating a bridge between the molecular biology of important neurodegenrative disorders and advances in brain imaging." - Journal of Neurosurgery "...highly recommended to readers who require a solid review and reference text on the state of the art in bioimaging in neurodegenrative diseases." - Annals of Neurology
