Neuro-Urology Research
A Comprehensive Overview
Description
Key Features
- Conveys the importance of a deeper understanding of the basis of the neural control of bladder function to bridge gap in understanding of the neuro-urology research field
- Stresses and highlights the importance of fundamental research before scientific results can be applied to clinical settings
- Includes cutting edge neuroscience techniques like (wireless/ radiofrequency) optogenetic manipulation of cell activity, and gene profiling
- Summarizes the outcomes of the latest research and overview of how new findings compare with more traditional studies and clear explanations of how neuro-urology research may be applicable to treating patients with LUTS
