Description for Central Nervous System Diseases
Hardback. A critical review of the animal models used in developing powerful new therapies for central nervous system diseases. Techniques that rely heavily on behavioural analyses, as well as models developed from infusions of neurotoxins and from advances in molecular biology, are thoroughly explicated. Editor(s): Emerich, DF (Alkermes, Cambridge, MA USA); Sanberg, P (University of South Florida College of Medicine, Tampa USA); III, RL Dean (Alkermes, Cambridge, MA USA). Series: Contemporary Neuroscience. Num Pages: 512 pages, biography. BIC Classification: MBGR; MJN; PSAN. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 254 x 170 x 28. Weight in Grams: 1133.
Prominent experimentalists critically review the animal models widely used in developing powerful new therapies for central nervous system diseases. Coverage includes novel uses of animal models of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Huntington's diseases, and studies of aging. Techniques that rely heavily on behavioral analyses, as well as models developed from infusions of neurotoxins and from advances in molecular biology, are thoroughly explicated, as are models developed for more acute neurological conditions, including traumatic brain injury and stroke. Comprehensive and authoritative, Central Nervous System Diseases: Innovative Animal Models from Lab to Clinic offers neuroscientists, pharmacologists, and interested clinicians a unique survey of ...

Reviews for Central Nervous System Diseases
"This book is an elegant survey of primate and nonprimate models for the most important of the CNS diseases, examining the prospects of treatment from various (slightly) promising drug therapies to the newest forms of fetal-tissue grafting. But more than that, the editors have compiled a paradigmatic study on the critical need for animal experimentation for the elucidation and ... Read more
