Nonlinear Dynamics of Parkinson’s Disease and the Basal Ganglia-Thalamic-Cortical System examines current research regarding the operations of the basal ganglia-thalamic-cortical system that causes neurological disorders like Parkinson’s disease. While there have been remarkable advances in the understanding of the anatomy, physiology and chemistry of these systems, there remains a significant degree of inconsistency and incompleteness between facts and advancements. This book introduces the novel concepts of nonlinear complex systems and their connection to Parkinsonism as well as hyperkinetic disorders. The actual mechanisms underlying the motor disorders of Parkinson’s disease at the level of the lower motor neuron are also discussed.

Dr. Montgomery has been an academic neurologist for over 40 years pursuing teaching, clinical and basic research at major academic medical centers. He has authored over 120 peer reviewed journal articles (available on PubMed) and 8 books on medicine (4 on the subject of Deep Brain Stimulation). The last two have been “Reproducibility in Biomedical Research (Academic Press, 2024) and “The Ethics of Everyday Medicine (Academic Press, 2023). Dr. Darbin pursues theoric, basic and translational research on the function of the basal ganglia and has worked at major centres in Europe, America and Japan. He has authored over 50 peer reviewed journal articles (available on PubMed) in biochemistry, neurophysiology and psychophysiology. His current research is on therapeutic on-demand for conditions with movement disorders (Nature Scientific Report, 2022).
