| Summary: | As life expectancy increases and population ages, the already enormous impact of neurodegeneration on society will become even larger without better prevention and treatment. Developing strategies to prevent degeneration of neurons and to promote a healthy nervous system is, thus, critical.

The proposed book is writen by a group of top world experts involved in the study of the mechanisms of hormones. |
