Animal Models of Acute Neurological Injuries II: Injury and Mechanistic Assessments aims to collect chapters on assessing these disorders from cells and molecules to behavior and imaging. These comprehensive assessments are the key for understanding disease mechanisms as well as developing novel therapeutic strategies to ameliorate or even prevent damages to the nervous system. Volume 2 examines global cerebral ischemia, focal cerebral ischemia, and neonatal hypoxia-ischemia, as well as intensive sections covering traumatic brain injury and spinal cord injury. Designed to provide both expert guidance and step-by-step procedures, chapters serve to increase understanding in what, why, when, where, and how a particular assessment is used. Accessible and essential, Animal Models of Acute Neurological Injuries II: Injury and Mechanistic Assessments will be useful for trainees or beginners in their assessments of acute neurological injuries, for experienced scientists from other research fields who are interested in either switching fields or exploring new opportunities, and for established scientists within the field who wish to employ new assessments Analysis Medicine Neurosciences Neurology Laboratory animals Biomedicine Animal Models biomedische wetenschappen neurologie neurowetenschap neuroscience diermodellen Medicine (General) Geneeskunde (algemeen) Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Online resource; title from PDF title page (Springer Protocols, viewed October 16, 2012) Subject Nervous system -- Wounds and injuries -- Animal models -- Handbooks, manuals, etc Nervous system -- Diseases -- Animal models -- Handbooks, manuals, etc Head -- Wounds and injuries.
