Neuroimmunology

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Here is yet another of Springer’s authoritative Major Reference Works. The release of these is a huge publishing event in itself, and this handbook on neurochemistry and molecular neurobiology is no exception. Required reading for neuroscientists and neurochemists, it contains data on multiple immunomodulators, many of which are also the products of hypothalamic brain cell neurosecretion. With contributions from dozens of researchers worldwide, and edited by two leading authorities in the field, this is information you can trust. Neuroimmunology is one of the most rapidly developing branches of Neurobiology, and this volume contains chapters that focus on a huge range of topics including the relationship between neuroimmunology and the pathogenesis of different nervous diseases.
