This book is dedicated to the memory of two colleagues and friends,
Amico Big- nami and Hendrick Vander Los. They were both pioneers in
their fields: Bignami on on- togenesis and function of neuroglia,
and Van der Los on brain plasticity and neuronal circuitry. Their
ideas are further pursued by the authors in this book. Some of the
chapters are products of a conference dedicated to these two
scientists entitled "Recent Advances in Neurobiology: Plasticity
and Regeneration." The conference was organized by the Insti- tute
of Developmental Neuroscience and Aging and sponsored by the Region
della Valle d' Aosta. Also, several chapters are written by
colleagues who knew well either Amico or Hendrick and were invited
to contribute to this dedication. The book is divided in four
sections. The first part covers neurons, neuroglia includ- ing
microglia, their plasticity and phenotypic expression, and specific
functions and inter- actions. It is now established that neuroglia
are an intimate component of the neuronal environment and thought
to regulate several neuronal functions. More recently microglia
have become prominent as the immune cells in the CNS. This part
contributes new infor- mation for these cellular interactions. The
second part deals with neuronal and glial cell plasticity as it
relates to regeneration and neurodegeneration, more or less an
extension of Part I. In recent years the role of transplantation in
regeneration has become promising.
