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

By Gerald Thiel

Not only is this the first book to cover neural development and neuronal survival and function on the genetic level, but it also outlines promising approaches for novel therapeutic strategies in fighting neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease. Focusing on transcription factors, the text is clearly of neural development, brain function, and transcriptional-dysregulation-induced neurological diseases. With a chapter penned by Nobel laureate Eric Kandel, this is essential reading for neurobiologists, geneticists, biochemists, cell biologist, neurochemists, and molecular biologists.
