This book offers an account of the latest research findings concerning the regulatory mechanisms of gene expression in neuronal and glial cells under different conditions. It explores the cellular and molecular aspects of important phenomena of the nervous system and their role in health, disease and injury. Contributions from prominent scientists in the field address a variety of specific topics concerned with gene expression in the nervous system, from growth, hormonal and trophic factors to neural tissue reactions in injury or aging.
