商品簡介
Critically reviews animal models widely used in developing powerful new therapies for central nervous system diseases. Coverage includes novel uses of animal models of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and Huntington's diseases, and studies of ageing, traumatic brain injury, and stroke. Techniques that rely heavily on behavioral analyses, as well as models developed from infusions of neurotoxins and from advances in molecular biology, are explained, as are models developed for more acute neurological conditions. Of interest to neuroscientists, pharmacologists, and clinicians. The editor is director of neuroscience at Alkermes, Inc. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
