Current Progress in Neurodegeneration

Current Progress in Neurodegeneration by Elena Poole, published by Foster Academics on June 19, 2019, offers a comprehensive examination of neurodegeneration, a process characterized by the progressive loss of neural function and structure. This edition spans 239 pages and is presented in English, focusing on the mechanisms underlying various neurodegenerative diseases, including Huntington’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and Alzheimer’s disease. The book highlights the irreversible nature of these conditions and the primary risk factor of aging, providing a detailed overview of the biological processes involved.
Readers will find that this book presents in-depth knowledge about the mechanisms of neurodegeneration, including aspects such as protein misfolding, genetics, and programmed cell death. It aims to enhance understanding of the rapid advancements in the field of neuroscience, making it a valuable resource for scientists and students engaged in this area of study. The content is designed to explore crucial and unexplored concepts related to neurodegenerative diseases, contributing to the ongoing discourse in medical and neurological research.
Official synopsis Publisher
A progressive loss of neural function and structure, which includes neuron death, occurs through a process known as neurodegeneration. It leads to several diseases, such as Huntington’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and Alzheimer’s disease. These diseases are not reversible and curable, resulting in progressive degeneration and death of neuron cells. The primary risk factor of neurodegeneration is aging. Protein misfolding, genetics, programmed cell death, intracellular mechanisms, etc. are some of the mechanisms by which neurodegeneration occurs. This book is compiled in such a manner, that it will provide in-depth knowledge about the mechanism of neurodegeneration. There has been rapid progress in the understanding of neurodegeneration and neurodegenerative diseases. Scientists and students actively engaged in neuroscience, will find this book full of crucial and unexplored concepts.
