Despite the critical importance of the cerebellum in brain function, the scientific community still lacks effective treatments for most cerebellar ataxias. This book provides a link between the pathogenesis and therapies of cerebellar ataxias while also providing a comprehensive assessment of the preclinical and clinical trials dedicated to cerebellar ataxias over the past 20 years of progress. This is the first book fully dedicated to the trials and therapies of these disorders. It is a truly authoritative and comprehensive reference, and comes at a time of major advances in genetic tools and neuroimaging assessments. The coverage begins by laying a foundation of the basic science of the cerebellum and ataxias, proceeds to discuss biomarkers and the tools of trials, offers guidelines on conducting trials, and then explores the full range of therapeutics and their trials, including gene therapy and cell transplantation. The authors are top experts on cerebellar research and the contributing authors have all made seminal contributions in the field.

La nueva Academia es poliédrica, ínter y multi disciplinar, dialógica y colabo...
An engrossing biography that attempts to fathom the motivations of an infamous sixteenth-century Spanish general Ferdinand Alvarez de Toledo, the third duke of Alba (1507-82), is known to history as "the butcher of Flanders."

La incertidumbre es la categorización de estos tiempos que hoy vivimos. Una categoría que ha llegado, paradójicamente, en la época de nuestra historia en la que la tecnología más avanzada está.

Es más, debe ser objeto de reflexión preguntarse si a medida que nos volvemos más tecnológicos no nos deshumanizamos en paralelo y en desproporciones inver-sas. Sí, en efecto, se nos suman muchas preguntas a la cabeza.
