Handbook of Neurochemistry and Molecular Neurobiology describes recent developmeents in varuous pathological aspects of neurological disorders with special emphasis on neurodegenerative diseases, molecular mechanism of neuronal death in the various diseases and their models, prospects for neuroprotection, and development of disease-modifying drugs.

Handbook of Neurochemistry and Molecular Neurobiology is intended to serve as a reference source for basic researchers and clinicians involved in the neurodegenerative field in particular and in the neuroscience field in general.
