Molecular Aspects of Neurodegeneration, Neuroprotection, and Regeneration in Neurological Disorders (eBook)

Molecular Aspects of Neurodegeneration, Neuroprotection, and Regeneration in Neurological Disorders presents readers with comprehensive and cutting-edge information on the neurochemical mechanisms of various types of neurological disorders. The book covers information on signal transduction processes associated with neurochemistry of neurological disorders, including neurodegenerative, neurotraumatic, and neuropsychiatric disorders. The book also discusses risk factors, symptoms, pathogenesis, biomarkers, and the potential treatments of neurological disorders. The comprehensive information in this monograph may not only help in early detection of various neurological disorders, but will also promote the discovery of new drugs.

• Provides a comprehensive overview of the molecular aspects of neurodegeneration, neuroprotection, and neuro-regeneration, along with therapeutic strategies for various types of neurological disorders
• Provides cutting-edge research information on the signal transduction processes associated with the neurochemistry of neurological disorders
• Discusses risk factors, symptoms, pathogenesis, biomarkers, and the potential for treatments of neurological disorders
