Neuroprotection provides a comprehensive treatment of neuroprotective strategies for all important neurological disorders.

Following an overview of neurodegenerative, traumatic, and ischemic disorders, Neuroprotection goes on to cover in vitro and animal model systems as well as cellular and molecular mechanisms.

An extremely helpful analysis of clinical studies explains reasons for their success and failure, and the whole is rounded off with a look at the current challenges and hopes for the development of effective treatment strategies in the future.
