Transcription Factors in the Nervous System : Development Brain Function and Diseases

This first book to cover neural development, neuronal survival and
function on the genetic level outlines promising approaches for novel
therapeutic strategies in fighting neurodegenerative disorders, such
as Alzheimer's disease. Focusing on transcription factors, the text
is clearly divided into three sections devoted to transcriptional
control of neural development, brain function and transcriptional
dysregulation induced neurological diseases. With a chapter written
by Nobel laureate Eric Kandel, this is essential reading for
neurobiologists, geneticists, biochemists, cell biologists,
neurochemists and molecular biologists.
