The unifying theme of the book-with sections on mechanisms of defense and neuropathogenesis, neurological diseases, infections of the nervous system, neuropharmacology, and novel therapies-is interactions of the immune and nervous systems. Gives an overall view about how inflammation is a key mediator of different brain disorders. Scientific advances in the multidisciplinary field of neuro-immunology/ neuro-inflammation have blossomed in the past decade. To foster communication with those who share an interest in this exciting field (neuroscientists, immunologists, cell biologists, clinicians and neuropharmacologists), this book will be edited, under the able guidance of Professor P. N. Tandon entitled "Inflammation: the common link in Brain Pathologies".
