Biography

The encephalitis associated with antibodies (Ab) against the N-Methyl-D-Aspartate Receptor (NMDAR) was first discovered in 2007 [1]. Since then, there have been several reports on clinical features and diagnostic tools for better understanding the pathophysiology of this disease. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS), Electroencephalogram (EEG), Fluoro-2-DeoxyD-Glucose Positron Emission Tomography (FDG PET)
