Main description:
Since 1959, International Review of Neurobiology has been a well-known series appealing to neuroscientists, clinicians, psychologists, physiologists, and pharmacologists. This important serial is now being combined with Neuroscience Perspective and Methods in Neurosciences. This combination results in a series that reaches a wider audience and publishes a greater number of thematic volumes.
Key - Description of the mechanisms involved in cell death and the biochemical changes occurring during an ischaemic episode
- Chapters on the different factors affecting the neurodegenerative process and how compounds acting on these systems may lead to novel neuroprotective agents
- Reviews of in vitro and in vivo models of stroke and the activity of putative neuroprotective drugs
- Discussion of the application of pre-clinical data to the clinical problem
- Detailed reviews of both completed clinical trials and those currently underway
Review quote:
"In balance, I recommend this book as a superior volume, whose high 'power-to-weight ratio,' readability, and availability in paperback make it attractive for personal use."
