| Summary |
Tremor is the most common movement disorder. The breadth of work remaining in tremor pathophysiology, etiology and treatment development does not render the area intractable; on the contrary, this is a dynamic, rich research area sure to continue its rapid growth. In Tremors, experts in the field come together to discuss the underpinnings of neurological tremors and recent clinical findings in treatment models |
