Brain Repair

Brain Repair, addresses all relevant issues underlying the

mechanisms of brain damage, brain plasticity and post-traumatic

reorganisation after CNS lesions. This book is divided the three

major sections that follow; cellular and molecular basis of brain

repair, plasticity and reorganisation of neural networks, and

experimental therapy strategies.Brain Repair is written by high

profile, international experts who describe in detail the newest

results from basic research and highlight new model systems,

techniques and therapy approaches. Based on a careful analysis of

the cellular and molecular reaction patterns of the CNS to lesions,

the contributions cover possibilities for endogenous reorganisation

and repair as well as exciting new therapies emerging from basic

research, some of which have already been introduced into the

clinics. Thus, this book is unique in bridging the gap between

basic and clinical research. It will be a valuable tool for all

students, researchers and clinici

ans interested in understanding the brain's capacity to cope

with lesions and interested in learning about emerging new therapy

concepts.
