Download FROM THE CONTENTS Transcription factors in neural development

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 3 sections devoted to:
Transcription factors in neural development,
Transcription factors in brain function,
Transcription factors in neuronal diseases.
