Description

This volume contains the papers presented at "The International Symposium on Molecular Mechanism and Epochal Therapeutics for Ischemic Stroke Dementia". Recent discoveries of the mechanism of ischemic neuronal death and Alzheimer's disease have made strong impact on the work being done by neuroscientists and clinicians in this area. This volume will definitely help in the progress of future basic and clinical investigations, to encourage strong scientific collaboration in elucidating the molecular mechanism and establish the epochal therapeutics of the diseases.
