- Describes the role of the immune system in injury and repair of a wide array of neurological disorders
- Covers both concepts and their applications in a way which is relevant for clinicans and basic scientists
- Clinically orientated throughout with an emphasis on new therapies for established diseases
New to this edition - New co-editor providing coverage of the role of anti-bodies in a wider array of neurological disorders than previously thought
- Over half of the book has been revised for this edition
- Covers the role of the immune system in injury and repair of a wide array of neurological disorders
- New chapters on neural regulation of the immune response and immune mediated protection and repair in the nervous system
- Introductory chapter by Byron H. Waksman, a major pioneer in the field of neuroimmunology
- Expanded presentations relating to MS, giving new insights and challenges to clinical treatments
- New chapter on regeneration in the CNS
Clinical Neurimmunology is the major reference text in the field, providing broad and comprehensive coverage of the interaction between the nervous and immune systems in both normal and diseased states. Understanding this interaction is fundamental to developing therapeutic approaches to disease and injury of the nervous system that are currently only marginally amenable to therapy. Neuroimmunology is a well-recognised and growing specialty world wide, both at the basic science and clinical level. It is a fast moving field and this is the most up to date text available. Chapters are dedicated to the role of the immune system in disorders affecting both the central and
peripheral nervous systems, including important neurodegenerative diseases (such as multiple sclerosis and HIV-related neural degeneration) which cause life-long disability. Extensive coverage is given to a whole array of immune-directed therapies.
The book has a strong international team of well respected, high profile editors and authors. The first edition published to extensive and positive reviews and has established itself as the principal reference source in the field. This second edition summarizes recent advances in clinical neuroimmunology in a comprehensive and unbiased way.
Readership: Clinical neurologists, immunologists, researchers in neuroimmunology and
neuroscientists
