Neuromuscular Disorders

When we received an invitation from Dr. Dave Greer to take on the guest editorship of this issue of Seminars we were delighted to have the opportunity to invite our former fellows and our esteemed senior colleagues to write about an area of neuromuscular disorders in which they have interest and expertise, and share their knowledge with the neurologic community. Despite the many demands of clinical practice, former fellows (now junior faculty) and established investigators have collaborated in a most harmonious and fruitful manner to produce what we believe is a treasure trove of neuromuscular wisdom for current fellows in training and clinicians in practice.

We want to thank Dr. Dave Greer for his outstanding editorial expertise, Ms. Ashley Stahle, Senior Administrator, for her invaluable support in seeing this project to completion, and our invited authors for the opportunity they have given us to review and discuss their contributions and expand our knowledge about some of the most compelling problems in clinical neurology, about which they have written so eloquently.
