Full Description
Each year, thousands of incidents of spinal cord injury will result in permanent disability. Research in this area has made enormous progress, particularily in our understanding of spinal cord injury and ways to elicit repair in animal models. This book, written by international experts, broadly covers findings from human spinal cord injury to experimental studies in animals, strategies for neuroprotection and regeneration and possible roles of axon guidance molecules in injury and regeneration. The inclusion of topical review as well as new data make this a useful reference and addition to any neuroscience research library.
Contents
Spinal Cord Injuries in Patients; Spinal Cord Injuries in Animal Models; Neuroprotection and Transplantation; Molecular Targets to Promote Axon Regeneration in the CNS.
