About this book
Reviews
"This book undertakes an extensive review of the fast moving field of cell death, an area of neurobiology that is currently the center of intensive investigation both at the level of mechanisms and disease pathogenesis....It is thus a book that will interest both neuroscientists and neurologists alike...will be a useful addition to the libraries of neurologists with an interest in neurodegenerative disorders, although other neurological conditions associated with neuronal death are touched on (for example, viral encephalitis, HIV-1 infection, trauma, and schizophrenia) which may widen its appeal.-Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Psychiatry
"...appeal to a wide spectrum of readers in both the laboratory and clinical setting....The first part on cellular and molecular mechanisms provides a wonderful overview of this difficult matter, ...In part II, a selection of animal models is reviewed, while part III extensively discusses cell death in acute and chronic conditions....This volume broadly covers the field of neuronal death, and the large number of (mostly) up to date references make this a very useful textbook. Being written and edited by authorities in the field, it can be strongly recommended."-Acta Neurologica Belgica
