Site-Selective Neurotoxicity

This book will be particularly useful to students and investigators who use neurotoxins in their research studies. The book is a good overview of the uniqueness of neurons and the multiple sites that are inadvertent or specific targets to the many chemical species often used in biomedical studies...For students, the book is easy reading, providing good insight into mechanisms of neurotoxicity and the experimental approaches for achieving desired lesions (or averting lessons) to specific neurons or cellular components of brain sites...Overall, I think this is an excellent book that is useful for the spectrum of investigators, from naive to expert. |o Richard M.

D., East Tennessee State University Rather than focusing of the neurotoxins,as most studies of neurotoxicity do, specialists from a number of disciplines and countries here concentrate on targets of neurotoxicity at the molecular, cellular, and tissue levels
