MORE ABOUT THIS BOOK
Main description:
This book examines current research into the role of neuronal death in cell signaling pathways, and its role in neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. After introducing neurodegenerative, traumatic, and ishemic disorders, the authors cover in vitro and animal systems, and cellular and molecular mechanisms.
