Neuroprotection is a novel perspective for the treatment of
disorders that lead to neurodegeneration and disabilities as a
result of deterioration of neurons due to apoptosis, oxidative
stress, excitotoxicity, and other mechanisms. These mechanisms have
implications not only for neurodegenerative disorders, but also for
schizophrenia, mood and cognitive disorders. The purpose of this
book is to provide an up-to-date overview of basic and clinical
studies concerning the neuroprotective approach, mechanisms, and
several compounds with neuroprotective properties that may
contribute to more efficacious treatment of major mental health
disorders. The book is divided into two sections. The first section
serves as an introduction and overview of conceptual issues of the
neuroprotective approach, and some neurobiological advances.
Chapters in this section review definitions, perspectives, and
issues that provide a conceptual base for the rest of the book. In
addition, this part includes chapters in which the authors present
and discuss the findings from basic studies of neurodegenerative
mechanisms that are associated with the pathogenesis of major
mental health disorders. The second section focuses on findings
obtained from clinical trials with neuroprotective compounds, and
neuromodulatory techniques. The take-home message is that
principles of the neuroprotective approach may be applied to
treatment of schizophrenia, mood and cognitive disorders.
Contributors to this book are among the most active investigators
and clinicians in the field who provide new perspectives not only
clarifying ongoing controversies but also propose diverse aspects
and new insights to neuroprotection. This book is intended for a
broad readership, which includes a broad spectrum of readers
including neuroscientists, psychiatrists, neurologists,
pharmacologists, clinical psychologists, general practitioners,
geriatricians, graduate students, and policy makers in the fields
of mental health.
