Summary

"This second edition covers the entire field of glial research from the basic molecular and cellular properties of these cells to their involvement in neurological diseases, including stroke, Alzheimer's disease, and multiple sclerosis. It includes new chapters on transmitter release by exocytosis from glia, glia derived stem cells, glia and synaptic transmission, glia and axon guidance, a completely new section on mechanisms of glial injury, and several new chapters on the roles of glia in different diseases. Neuroglia, Second Edition, provides a basic introduction to the whole range of glial topics and detailed information with critical assessment of the research literature. Neuroscience textbooks focus on the properties of neurons, whereas this book fills the information void about the brain's other cells. Neuroglia, Second Edition, is an essential reference source for both newcomers in this field and established investigators. Graduate students in neuroanatomy, neurochemistry, neurophysiology, and molecular neurobiology will find the book indispensable. It is also a vital companion for researchers in these fields as well as clinicians in neurology, neurosurgery, neuropathology, neuro-oncology, physiatry, and psychiatry."--BOOK JACKET.
