About the Book

This new edition covers recent advances in understanding immunological and inflammatory responses in the nervous system, research driven by the potential to use knowledge of the molecules and mechanisms involved to intervene in, and arrest, neurodegenerative disease processes. Immune and Inflammatory Responses in the Nervous System covers developmental aspects of immune/inflammatory responses in the CNS, basic aspects of glial function, as well as inflammatory mediators, their mechanisms of action, clinical importance and sites of infection. There is also coverage of the major diseases of the CNS, including stroke, brain injury, multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer's disease. Throughout, the focus is on the underlying basic neuroscience, clinical relevance and the potential for therapeutic interventions. This will be an invaluable aid to understanding and improving the diagnosis of neuroimmune diseases and determining therapeutic measures. The contributors are all leading experts in the field and the content will be of interest to neuroscientists, neurologists, neuropathologists, neurosurgeons and immunologists.

Review :
This well-structured and balanced account of our current knowledge of immune and inflammatory aspects of CNS disorders will appeal to researchers and clinicians alike. Journal of Neurology ... provides a clear, concise, informative, and most importantly, readable, collection of up-to-date essays on various aspects of inflammation in the CNS. Because of the diversity of the contributor's view points, I think that it would provide a good introduction for those unfamiliar with inflammation or for those unfamiliar with the special problems relating to the nervous system.
