CNS Neuroprotection

CNS Neuroprotection edited by Frank W. Marcoux, Dennis W. Choi.

"CNS neuroprotection" was a common subject of papers, symposia, and reviews during the previous "decade of the brain. " Indeed, in recent years, experimental study of putative neuroprotective agents prompted clinical trials of numerous drug candidates in acute and chronic human n...
