Animal Models of Neurological Conditions

Animal Models of Neurological Conditions: A Reference Guide for Neuroscience Researchers and Trainees informs about novel animal models and their unique strengths and limitations in the research of neurological conditions. It demonstrates the importance of animal models' abilities to replicate only aspects of a given neurological condition and highlights the value of these animal models in increasing human brain function in afflicted patients. The book, comprised of seven sections, discusses various animal models and research methods for mental health, neurodevelopmental disorders, addiction, age-related neurodegenerative conditions, cancer and cancer treatments, metabolic conditions, and viruses affecting brain function. Though developed with neuroscience researchers and trainees involved in pre-clinical and clinical research in mind, neurologists and other treatment professionals caring for patients with neurological conditions will also find value in this detailed resource.
