Neuroinflammation has long been studied in its connection to the development and progression of Multiple Sclerosis. In recent years, the fied has expanded to look at the role of inflammatory processes in a wide range of neurological diseases and cognitive disorders including Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's and autism. Researchers have also started to appreciate the beneficial impacts of neuroinflammation in certain diseases. Neuroinflammation in the Central Nervous System looks across the discipline and provides a comprehnsive picture of the field. Neuroinflammation in the Central Nervous System is divided into five sections. The opening section looks at fundamental aspects of neuroinflammation. This is followed by two sections that look at the detrimental and beneficial aspects of inflammation on the brain and nervous system. The final two sections look at emerging research on systemic inflammation and the impact of neuroinflammation on the peripheral nervous system. Providing cross-disciplinary coverage, Neuroinflammation in the Central Nervous System, will be an essential volume for neuroimmulogists, neurobiologists, neurologists and any one interested in the field.
