We have brought together some of the world’s leading scientists to review the latest insights and concepts that are the result of recent research into brain disease. Focusing on the conclusions of research carried out during DECADE OF THE BRAIN (1990–2000), the book encompasses the latest clinical and experimental findings on how the central nervous system responds to injury caused by inflammation, vascular accidents, trauma, and degenerative disorders such as multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, stroke and head injury.

Particular attention is devoted to the role of genetic and environmental factors, apoptotic mechanisms, cytokines, chemokines, matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), and free radicals in the acquisition of brain diseases and CNS response.
