Handbook of Animal Models in Neurological Disorders

Neurological conditions affect millions of people worldwide, including migraine, Alzheimer's Disease, and more. Handbook of Animal Models in Neurological Disorders will better readers' understanding of a large variety of animal models and their applicability in studying a number of neurological disorders. Featuring sections on brain injury, stroke, and neuroinflammation, this volume discusses in detail the utility, success, and pitfalls of multiple models for each condition. Multiple disorders are covered, ranging from neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and ALS, to multiple sclerosis, to headache and migraine, and others. With expert authors, this book has applicability for anyone pursuing neuroscience or biomedical research working to better understand, study, and ultimately treat neurological dysfunction. Summarizes animal models for a variety of neurological conditions Contains chapter abstracts, key facts, dictionary, and summary Covers both neurodegenerative diseases and other neurological conditions Compares and contrasts different models and experimental systems Includes sections on Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, brain injury, migraine, multiple sclerosis, and more INDICE: Section 1: Alzheimer's Disease and Dementias 1.
