| dc.description.abstract | The depth and breadth of knowledge regarding cerebellar functions in health
and disease continue to grow exponentially. Most of the currently available books dealing
with the cerebellum and its disorders are highly specialized, usually written for
neurologists with a particular interest in the cerebellar disorders. The four-volume
Handbook of the Cerebellum and Cerebellar Disorders (Springer 2013) is the most
comprehensive monograph on the cerebellum published to date covering both fundamental
and clinical aspects. As valuable a resource as this has proven to be, however,
the treatise is too extensive for students, and not practical as a brief, authoritative overview
of the subject. The editors therefore concluded that there is a compelling need to
distill the vast amount of basic science and clinical information in the four-volume text
into a clear and concise précis of the work accessible to clinicians and students. Hence,
this work, Essentials of the Handbook of the Cerebellum and Cerebellar Disorders. | en_US |
