Now Published in the RSC Drug Discovery Series
Animal Models for Neurodegenerative Disease
Edited by Jesus Avila, Jose J. Lucas and Felix Hernandez
This book provides up-to-date information on the use of transgenic mouse models in the study of neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and Huntington’s disease. By reproducing some of the pathological aspects of the diseases, these studies could reveal the mechanism for their onset or development. Some of the transgenic mice can also be used as targets for testing new compounds with the potential to prevent or combat these disorders. There are also additional chapters on other CAG diseases, ALS, recessive ataxias and diseases caused by prions and ischemia.
The editors have extensive knowledge and experience in the field and have aimed the book at undergraduates, postgraduates, academics and scientists working in the field of neurosciences.
