State of the art reviews by experts in the fields of neuroscience,
immunology, microbiology/infectious diseases and pharmacology
addressing the convergence of the immune system (neuroinflammation)
and the loss of neurons (neurodegeneration). Many of the diseases
that are discussed in the book are of epidemic proportion, e.g.,
Alzheimer s disease, Parkinson s disease, stroke, viral
encephalitides and substance abuse. In addition to discussions of
the involvement of neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration in these
disorders, scientific reviews are presented on the cells and
mediators that participate in defense of and damage to the nervous
system. With rare exception, no or inadequate treatment exists for
the diseases discussed in this book. An underlying premise of the
book is that understanding of their shared pathogenic mechanisms
will lead to improved therapies. Given the rapid evolution of the
field of Neuroimmune Pharmacology, readers will find this book to
be the most timely and authoritative reference on the subject of
each of its chapters."
