Focuses on the field of regeneration in the Central Nervous System (CNS) from molecular, systems, and disease-based perspective. This book covers numerous areas in detail, and gives special emphasis to discussions of movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and spinal cord injury.

This second edition of CNS Regeneration updates the burgeoning field of regeneration in the Central Nervous System (CNS) from molecular, systems, and disease-based perspective. While the book covers numerous areas in detail, special emphasis is given to discussions of movement disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and spinal cord injury.
