Neuroprotective Agents and Cerebral Ischaemia

Since 1959, International Review of Neurobiology has been a well-known series appealing to neuroscientists, clinicians, psychologists, physiologists, and pharmacologists. This important serial is now being combined with Neuroscience Perspective and Methods in Neurosciences. This combination results in a series that reaches a wider audience and publishes a greater number of thematic volumes. Key Features * Description of the mechanisms involved in cell death and the biochemical changes occurring during an ischaemic episode * Chapters on the different factors affecting the neurodegenerative process and how compounds acting on these systems may lead to novel neuroprotective agents * Reviews of in vitro and in vivo models of stroke and the activity of putative neuroprotective drugs * Discussion of the application of pre-clinical data to the clinical problem * Detailed reviews of both completed clinical trials and those currently underway
