Description

Authored by internationally acclaimed scientists, this publication presents the most recent data on finely tuned, highly coordinated metabolic exchanges between neurons and astrocytes which are key to brain function.

It contains exciting new evidence regarding the regulation of transporters, key enzymes and adaptive mechanisms of brain tissue in response to alterations in the supply and demand of energy nutrients.

This up-to-date publication underscores the renewed interest in understanding processes in the CNS, which are involved in the regulation of key cellular and metabolic mechanisms which underlie function as well as pathology.

In addition, this volume includes a major section that elucidates how dysfunction of energy metabolism expresses itself in various neurodegenerative mechanisms.

By emphasizing innovative research directions in this clinically relevant field, this volume will be of interest to a broad spectrum of neuroscientists as well as researchers in physiology, biochemistry and nutrition who are interested in development and energy metabolism.
