International Review of Neurobiology, Volume 42 (International Review of Neurobiology)

Presents a review on Alzheimerand#39;s Disease as well as a look at several transcription factors. This volume provides clinical features of stroke and the current stasis of stroke therapy. It also talks about Alzheimerand#39;s Disease - pathology, pathological proteins, etiology, pathogenesis, neurotransmitter alterations, and treatment strategies.
