Publisher Synopsis
. . . an excellent and authoriative source book on what, for most people, is the most important question about the nervous system - how to repair the damage inflicted by the ever more violent ways of peace and war and the depredations of age . . . One is surprised that the need for such a work has not been recognised before. * Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, Vol 96 * Within the rapidly expanding specialty of neuroscience, it is seldom that one encounters a book that so elegantly compiles new and old information to address a subject that has hitherto been poorly covered . . . should be recommended to all those with an interest in repair and regeneration of the nervous system, and to neurosurgeons and neurologists in training. * The Lancet * It is both easy and very stimulating to read, and it contains a vast amount of information . . . an excellent book. * Brain, 125 * Brain repair is now a huge and very fast-moving field. This book provides an excellent foundation not only for those involved in the further development of therapies for repairing the damaged brain, but increasingly for those involved in applying these therapies in the clinical setting. It will play its part in the difficult but promising task of translating basic science into real clinical benefit. * Journal of Neurology * If you are looking for a compilation of texts addressing the potential force(s) to cause disruption of the brain machinery, your search is done. Despite the fact of any matter related to mind is a complicated subject, the author's trades made this book an easy reading. As consequence, even a junior investigator can run over each passage and get the necessary knowledge to go deeper in the subject. There is also a very useful bibliography list provided in the end. * Journal of Chemical Neuroanatomy, 27 * Read more...
