The book also describes other new and adapted techniques to...

Brain Damage, Brain Repair
ISBN: 9780198523376 / Angielski / Miękka / 488 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Now available in paperback. Many neurological conditions are caused by damage to neurons and glial cells. For most of these diseases there are at present no effective treatments to minimise the extent of neuronal and glial loss, and no effective way of replacing what has been lost. This picture is rapidly changing. Developments in basic neuroscience have produced various potential therapies that can protect neurons and glia following traumatic, anoxic, infectious and immunological damage. The old doctrine that axons cannot be made to regenerate, and dead neurons cannot be replaced is no...

Glial Cell Development: Basic Principles and Clinical Relevance
ISBN: 9780198524786 / Angielski / Twarda / 488 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The majority of cells in the nervous system are glial cells. During de velopment, these cells provide growth factors that stimulate the proli feration, migration and survival of neurones and their precursors, and promote and guide axonal growth. In the mature nervous system, glial cells provide insulating myelin sheath around axons and provide metabo lic and structural support for neurones. Glial cells also have a major influence on the local response to injury of central nerve tracts and the peripheral nervous system, either promoting, or inhibiting, axona l regrowth and recovery of lost...

Management of Brain Injured Children
ISBN: 9780198567240 / Angielski / Miękka / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Brain injuries are common in children, typically following head trauma but also complicating meningitis, encephalitis, cerebrovascular haemorrhage (stroke) and brain tumours. Many children suffer irreversible impairments and are left with major physical, educational and behavioural disabilities. This has tremendous implications for health, education and social services. The survivors of brain injuries pose a significant burden on the NHS, the community and families. Despite this, resources are limited or non-existent in many parts of the UK and, consequently, many hospitals, schools and...

Rett Disorder and the Developing Brain

Rett disorder, named after Andreas Rett who first described the condition in 1996, is preferentially found in females, and involves the functions on which intelligence and expression depend - learning, hand use and speech. The recent discovery of mutations in a specific gene, selectively silencing the expression of other genes, supports the hypothesis that the condition is a developmental disorder, which should be viewed in the context of early brain growth. This book presents a comprehensive review of the clinical, generic, anatomical and physiological aspects of Rett disorder, calling on...
