Inflammation: the Common Link in Brain Pathologies

This unifying theme of this book—with sections on mechanisms of defense and neuropathogenesis, neurological diseases, infections of the nervous system, neuropharmacology, and novel therapies—is interactions of the immune and nervous systems. It also discusses the role of inflammation as a key mediat...
