A distinguished international panel of authors define our current
understanding of neuronal damage after ischemia and critically
review the significant recent developments and progress in
cerebrovascular accident (CVA) drug trials, both in animal models
and in the clinical setting. These leading basic and fundamental
authorities survey such important new drugs as calcium-influx
inhibitors, free-radical scavenging drugs, glutamate and
glycinergic antagonists, and immune suppressors. They also evaluate
all the latest findings concerning calcium homeostasis, glutamate
toxicity, gene activation, and the role of free radicals, glycine,
and hormones. Chapters devoted to the neuroimaging of stroke,
clinical trials, and the role of cerebral immune activation
complete this informative collection of cutting-edge reviews.
Gert Ter Horst and a panel of recognized experts illuminate the
complexities and importance of heart-brain and brain-heart
interactions in human health. These distinguished authorities
critically review what is known about autonomic control of the
heart, hypothalamo-pituitary- adrenal modulation, heart pain,
modulation by humoral factors, and the relationship between
cognitive/neuropsychiatric disorders and heart disease. Highly
relevant and up-to-date, The Nervous System and the Heart offers
the first comprehensive treatment of the important mutual
interactions of the heart and the brain. By integrating specialist
knowledge in cardiology with that from neuroscience, this important
book constitutes a brilliant guide to today's novel approaches to
neural control of the heart and consequent reduction of
cardiovascular mortality.
