Huntington's Dementia

The present book will allow clinicians and researchers to be familiar with our current understanding of Huntington's disease (HD), and will provide the background required to use up-coming information to answer questions that arise in practice and in research. We hope this work is able to strike a balance between our sense of optimism that we will see a future free of HD, engendered by this recent progress, and the very significant current challenges of caring for individuals affected by this progressive and devastating neurodegenerative disorder. This book will prove to be a useful addition to the HD literature and will also be accessible to members of the families affected by this disorder, as well as to clinicians and basic scientists in the field.
