Neuroprotection

In vitro and in vivo models of cerebral ischaemia; neurotransmitter dynamics in cerebral ischaemia; understanding cerebral energy metabolism - a key to successful neuroprotection; the role of calcium-dependent neurotransmitter release in ischaemic brain injury; free radicals, antioxidants and reperfusion injury in the central nervous system; excitatory amino acid antagonists; general anaesthetics as neuroprotective agents; acute management of head injury; physiological imaging of stroke; selective modulation of voltage-gated sodium channels - a rational approach for neuroprotection.
