Handbook of the Neuroscience of Aging

Edited by Patrick R. Hof, Charles V. Mobbs

11,980.00 5,495.00

This book offers an overview of topics related to neurobiological impairments which are related to the ageing brain and nervous system. Coverage ranges from animal models to human imaging, fundamentals of age-related neural changes and pathological neurodegeneration, and offers an overview of structural and functional changes at the molecular, systems, and cognitive levels. Key pathologies such as memory disorders, Alzheimer’s, dementia, Down syndrome, Parkinson’s, and stroke are discussed, as are cutting edge interventions such as cell replacement therapy and deep brain stimulation. There is no other current single-volume reference with such a comprehensive coverage and depth.

Description

A single volume of 85 articles, the Handbook of the Neurobiology of Aging is an authoritative selection of relevant chapters from the Encyclopedia of Neuroscience, the most comprehensive source of neuroscience information assembled to date (AP Oct 2008).

The study of neural ageing is a central topic in neuroscience, neuropsychology and gerontology. Some well-known age-related neurological diseases including Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s, but even more common are problems of ageing which are not due to disease but to more subtle impairments in neurobiological systems, including impairments in vision, memory loss, muscle weakening, and loss of reproductive functions, changes in body weight, and sleeplessness. As the average age of our society increases, diseases of ageing become more common and conditions associated with ageing need more attention by doctors and researchers.

This book offers an overview of topics related to neurobiological impairments which are related to the ageing brain and nervous system. Coverage ranges from animal models to human imaging, fundamentals of age-related neural changes and pathological neurodegeneration, and offers an overview of structural and functional changes at the molecular, systems, and cognitive levels. Key pathologies such as memory disorders, Alzheimer’s, dementia, Down syndrome, Parkinson’s, and stroke are discussed, as are cutting edge interventions such as cell replacement therapy and deep brain stimulation. There is no other current single-volume reference with such a comprehensive coverage and depth.

Authors selected are the internationally renowned experts for the particular topics on which they write, and the volume is richly illustrated with over 100 colour figures. A collection of articles reviewing our fundamental knowledge of neural ageing, the book provides an essential, affordable reference for scientists in all areas of Neuroscience, Neuropsychology and Gerontology.
