6 Nystagmus and Related Ocular Motility DisordersJohn R. Leigh, MD, Professor of Neurology, Emeritus, Case Western Reserve University; Rucker, Janet C"This chapter concerns abnormal eye movements that disrupt steady fixation and thereby degrade vision."
7 Prions and Prion DiseasesEric R. Eggenberger, DO, Mayo Clinic"The prion (pronounced ‘‘pree-on'') diseases are clinically heterogeneous, progressive neurodegenerative disorders that share similar pathologic features, primarily spongiform degeneration of the brain (Figs. 53.1 and 53.2) and are caused by a transmissible agent with biologic properties unlike ...
