Central Nervous System Trauma
Central nervous system trauma, which encompasses stroke, subarachnoid hemorrhage, head injury, and spinal cord injury, is a leading cause of death in developed countries. In the search for underlying mechanisms, membrane involvement has been the common link. This fourth volume in the Membrane-Linked Diseases series is therefore dedicated to research on CNS trauma. Focusing on the mechanism of membrane damage, Central Nervous System Trauma: Research Techniques presents a variety of experimental techniques to study the mechanism of CNS trauma. Animal and tissue culture models provide the bulk of the research findings in this area. Possible pharmacological interventions are analyzed. This volume offers numerous illustrative examples, including full color figures. This book serves as a valuable resource for students and researchers, assisting in the comprehension of current trends in CNS trauma and helping to stimulate the discovery of new research areas.
International Review of Neurobiology
Volume 42 presents an in-depth review on Alzheimer's Disease as well as a look at several transcription factors. - Clinical features of stroke and the current stasis of stroke therapy - Alzheimers Disease--pathology, pathological proteins, etiology, pathogenesis, neurotransmitter alterations, and treatment strategies - An examination of the regulation of AP-1 and related transcription factors and their role in brain injury and drug abuse-related behavior - Emerging roles of the transcription factor NF(B - Recent advances about the nature of alterations in ion channel structure or function which may be responsible for epileptogenesis - An integrated model accounting for the multiple mechanisms involved in the posttranslational regulation of glutamate ionotroic receptors - Genetic mutation and the Glycine Receptor
Neurobiology of Ischemic Brain Damage
In the eight years since the publication of Volume 63 of Progress in Brain Research, on this subject, developments in the research field have been very fast. For example, receptor physiology and pharmacology is now an intensively studied field, and the excitotoxic hypothesis of cell death is commonly accepted. Furthermore, it is recognized that ischemia and other insults give rise to a sustained depression of overall protein synthesis, yet lead to the expression of dormant genes and to synthesis of new proteins.In view of this development, this volume focusses on the cellular and molecular aspects of ischemic brain damage. The book will be of great value to all those interested in the pathophysiology of ischemic and traumatic brain damage.
Understanding Traumatic Brain Injury
Progress in research on traumatic brain injury is presented in this book encompassing translational and clinical investigations. Observational and interventional studies are discussed by leading investigators of TBI in adults and children. Contributors from various countries provide a global perspective on this worldwide health problem.

Neurobiology of Hyperthermia
The effects of global warming on human health factors with special regards to our brain function are still not well understood. There is an urgent need to expand our knowledge on the effects of hot environment on our brain functions in healthy and in diseased populations. It is still unclear whether infectious events, traumatic injuries, metabolic diseases, carcinogenic events, cardiovascular and respiratory functions will be adversely affected by the rise in global temperature or whether environmental pollutants, such as nanoparticles entered into our body system will produce more damage at high ambient temperatures. This book aims to answer these questions based on recent research carried ...
Neurotrauma: New Insights into Pathology and Treatment
Neurotrauma is the leading cause of death and disability in young adults, and the incidence in older patients is increasing. Neurotrauma is also a field in medicine with one of the highest unmet needs. Concentrated, focused and multidisciplinary efforts are required to combat this important disease. Exciting findings from basic research open opportunities for improving treatment results. This volume presents a unique and comprehensive overview of the latest findings and insights on translational research in neurotrauma. This book should be a must for any TBI or SCI researcher interested in translating their work to the clinic, as well as to clinicians interested in the latest research findings which could provide novel treatment strategies for their patients.• Integrates results from research on traumatic brain injury and spinal cord injury, bridging basic science and clinical research• Includes contributions from a worldwide panel of leading researchers and clinicians in the fields of TBI and SCI
Stroke Prevention and Treatment
An evidence-based guide for clinicians caring for stroke patients, with advice for best practice in prevention, treatment and recovery.
