Trama

The Handbook of Neurotoxicity is a reference source for identifying, characterizing, instructing on use, and describing outcomes of neurotoxin treatments – to understand mechanisms associated with toxin use; to project outcomes of neurotoxin treatments; to gauge neurotoxins as predictors of events leading to neurodegenerative disorders and as aids to rational use of neurotoxins to model disease entities. Neuroprotection is approached in different manners including those 1) afforded by therapeutic agents – clinical and preclinical; or 2) by non-drug means, such as exercise. The amorphous term ‘neurotoxin’ is discussed in terms of the possible eventuality of a neuroprotectant producing an outcome of excess neuronal survival and a behavioral spectrum that might produce a dysfunction – akin to a neurotoxin’s effect. The Handbook of Neurotoxicity is thus an instructive and valuable guide towards understanding the role of neurotoxins/neurotoxicity in the expansive field of Neuroscience, and is an indispensable tool for laboratory investigators, neuroscientists, and clinical researchers.

Autore

Dr. Kostrzewa is professor of Pharmacology. He received his BS (1967) in Chemistry and MS (1967) in Pharmacology from Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and Science. He received his Ph.D. (1971) in Pharmacology from the University of Pennsylvania and was awarded Doctor Honoris Causa, 2005 from the Medical University of Silesia in Katowice Poland. Following his post-doctoral training in New Orleans he was appointed to the faculty at Louisiana State University. He joined the faculty in the department of Pharmacology at ETSU in 1978, rising to the rank of Professor in 1984. Dr. Kostrzewa is a world recognized authority in the neuropharmacological aspects of Parkinson Disease and ADHD, with a primary focus on Serotoninergic, histaminergic and dopaminergic systems.
