_Conn’s Translational Neuroscience_ provides a comprehensive
overview reflecting the depth and breadth of the field of
translational neuroscience, with input from a distinguished panel of
basic and clinical investigators. Progress has continued in
understanding the brain at the molecular, anatomic, and physiological
levels in the years following the 'Decade of the Brain,' with the
results providing insight into the underlying basis of many
neurological disease processes.
This book alternates scientific and clinical chapters that explain the
basic science underlying neurological processes and then relates that
science to the understanding of neurological disorders and their
treatment. Chapters cover disorders of the spinal cord, neuronal
migration, the autonomic nervous system, the limbic system, ocular
motility, and the basal ganglia, as well as demyelinating disorders,
stroke, dementia and abnormalities of cognition, congenital
chromosomal and genetic abnormalities, Parkinson's disease, nerve
trauma, peripheral neuropathy, aphasias, sleep disorders, and
myasthenia gravis.
In addition to concise summaries of the most recent biochemical,
physiological, anatomical, and behavioral advances, the chapters
summarize current findings on neuronal gene expression and protein
synthesis at the molecular level. Authoritative and comprehensive,_
Conn’s Translational Neuroscience_ provides a fully up-to-date and
readily accessible guide to brain functions at the cellular and
molecular level, as well as a clear demonstration of their emerging
diagnostic and therapeutic importance.
