Neuroglia: Function and Pathology provides a broad overview of glial pathophysiology and their contribution to various neurological diseases. With a focus on the role of different classes of neuroglial cells in the progression and outcome of each neurological disorder both in the CNS and PNS, this book highlights the importance of glia in neuropathology and, at the same time, the potential of glial cells as therapeutic targets. Astrocytes, microglia, and oligodendrocytes play critical roles in the formation and removal of synapses, myelination, and have a primary role in the progression of neuropathologies, hence this is an interesting and timely resource. Provides the most comprehensive, authoritative and up-to-date single volume on glia pathology Includes full color illustrations throughout Features helpful text boxes highlighting key summaries of sections Covers various neurological diseases, including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, ALS and epilepsy, amongst others INDICE: 1.
