Synopsis

This volume describes the mechanisms by which the nervous system is injured in disease and in trauma, examines repair or regenerative responses to neural injury, and explores therapeutic interventions aimed at promoting these responses. The book contains contributions by leading international investigators in clinical disciplines and in the basic sciences and focuses on new research findings and novel therapeutic approaches. Major areas covered include regeneration in Alzheimer's disease and ageing; myelin injury and repair; physiology of spinal cord injury; cell and tissue transplantation in spinal cord injury; steroid hormones and neuronal regeneration; pharmacological treatments for acute spinal cord injury; regulatory genes in regeneration and plasticity; and the function of phagocytic cells in the nervous system.
