The Neuron Cell And Molecular Biology

Translational Neuroscience offers a far-reaching and insightful series of perspectives on the effort to bring potentially revolutionary new classes of therapies to the clinic, thereby transforming the treatment of human nervous system disorders.

This book highlights emerging science in the area of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and discusses key approaches and mechanisms essential for developing a cure for ALS.

This book focuses on different types of diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, frontotemporal dementia, different tauopathies, Parkinson's disease, prion disease, motor neuron diseases such as multiple sclerosis and spinal muscular atrophy. This book provides a clear explanation of different neurodegenerative diseases with new concepts of understand the etiology, pathological mechanisms, drug screening methodology and new therapeutic interventions.

Authors: Nieuwenhuys, Rudolf, Puelles, Luis
Presents and incorporates new molecular evidence concerning the fundamental processes of CNS development
Explains how the molecular and cellular events of early development are causally related to emergent adult CNS morphology
Also features forays into a number of topics of particular (neuro)biological interest, including biodiversity, neurotransmission and the structure of the CNS in the closest relatives to the vertebrates
