Axon Regrowth: The Neurobiology of Nerve and Axon Regeneration, originally published in 2008 and now fully revised—with a refocus on the central nervous system and axon regeneration—emphasizes the commonalities and differences with peripheral nerve regeneration. The book reviews the substantial problems of axon and nerve regeneration, including molecular mechanisms and the approaches that can be used to experimentally address new avenues. Both researchers and clinicians alike will consider this a valuable resource.
- Includes a new, detailed chapter on CNS axon regeneration
- Reviews several new and exciting regeneration pathways and their potential for translation into regenerative therapies
- Discusses the neurobiology of axon biology
Students and researchers in neuroscience, neurologists, neurosurgeons, plastic surgeons, and physiologists, biologists
