About this book
Despite numerous recent studies and exciting discoveries in the field, only limited treatment is available today for the victims of acute neurological injuries. Animal Models of Acute Neurological Injuries provides a standardized methodology manual designed to eliminate the inconsistent preparations and variability that currently jeopardizes advances in the field. Contributed by top experts and many original developers of the models, each chapter contains a step-by-step, proven procedure and visual aids covering the most commonly used animal models of neurological injury in order to highlight the practical applications of animal models rather than the theoretical issues. This intensive volume presents its readily reproducible protocols with great clarity and consistency to best aid neuroscientists and neurobiologists in laboratory testing and experimentation.
Comprehensive and cutting-edge, Animal Models of Acute Neurological Injuries is an ideal guide for scientists and researchers who wish to pursue this vital course of study with the proficiency and precision that the field requires.
Reviews
From the reviews:
"In this book, the editors have provided detailed discussions on numerous models of acute neurologic injury … . an invaluable resource to anyone starting out in the neuroinjury field or to experienced individuals who require an update in terms of animal modeling. … I recommend this book to … investigators in the field of neurologic injuries, including students, basic scientists, and clinicians. I think anyone in the field of experimental or clinical neurologic disorders will find this book to be extremely helpful … ." (American Journal of Neuroradiology, Vol. 30, March, 2009)
