Beskrivning

This second edition of CNS Regeneration updates the burgeoning field of regeneration in the Central Nervous System (CNS) from molecular, systems, and disease-based perspective. While the book covers numerous areas in detail, special emphasis is given to discussions of movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and spinal cord injury.

Incorporates information gained from cutting-edge photomicroscopy techniques
Includes current information on clinical trials
Presents chapters on stem cells and other novel treatments for diseases of the CNS
