Description

Assessments, Treatments and Modeling in Aging and Neurological Disease: The Neuroscience of Aging is a comprehensive reference on the diagnosis and management of neurological aging and associated disorders. The book discusses the mechanisms underlying neurological aging and provides readers with a detailed introduction to the aging of neural connections and complexities in biological circuitries, as well as the interactions between genetics, epigenetics and other micro-environmental processes. It also examines pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions of age-related conditions that affect the brain, including Alzheimer’s, stroke and multiple sclerosis.

Key Features

  • Provides the most comprehensive coverage of the broad range of topics related to the neuroscience of aging
  • Features sections on diagnosis and biomarkers of neurological aging, Alzheimer’s and stroke
  • Contains an abstract, key facts, a mini dictionary of terms, and summary points in each chapter
  • Focuses on neurological diseases and conditions linked to aging, environmental factors and clinical recommendations
  • Includes more than 500 illustrations and tables

Readership

Neuroscientists, geriatricians, neurobiologists, experimental biologists, clinicians, graduate students, and post-doctoral fellows
