title: Pathological assessment of movement disorders: requirements for documentation in brain banks.
abstract: The general methodological requirements and principal morphologic hallmarks for the post mortem assessment of the major types of movement disorders are critically reviewed. These data may enable Brain Banks to classify movement disorders according to current clinicopathological diagnostic criteria. Comprehensive clinical assessment and accurate neuropathological examination using adequate methods are required for collection of and research on tissues from patients with movement disorders.
