Akio Suzumura, MD, PhD, graduated from Gifu University, School of Medicine in 1975, and had completed the residency program at Nagoya Second Red Cross Hospital in 1980. After getting PhD degree at Department Neurology, Nagoya University, School of Medicine in 1983, he had worked for Department of Neurology, University of Pennsylvania as a post-doctoral fellow until 1987. There, he established the methods for isolation of oligodendrocytes and microglia and had studied immunological functions of glial cells. He became an assistant professor in Department of Neurology, Fujita Health University in 1987, and an associate professor in Department of Neurology, Nara Medical University in 1995. He became Professor and Chairman in Department of Neuroimmunology, Research Institute of Environmental Medicine, Nagoya University in 2001, and currently a vise president of the Institute. He had been a president of Japanese Society of Neuroimmunolgy (2008-2012). He is currently an Editor-in-Chief of Clinical and Experimental Neuroimmunology, an Academic Editor of PLoS ONE, and an Editorial Board Member of Journal of Neurological Sciences, and Neurochemical Research. His current interest is neuron-glia interactions in both physiological and pathological conditions.

From the reviews:
"This is a good text concerning the inflammatory neurotoxic and neuroprotective roles of the molecular mediators associated with stroke, ALS, MS, Alzheimer's, and other neurological diseases. ... I recommend this book for immunologists, neurologists and neuroscience graduate students." (Joseph J. Grenier, Amazon.com, June, 2014)
