Description
This special issue details the most recent developments from research on the roles of CNS cytokines, related soluble mediators and their antagonists. Originating from the first international meeting to focus exclusively on immune-to-brain signaling, the main topics covered include CNS actions of cytokines, cytokines and the neuropathology of stroke, cytokines and HIV neuropathology and behavioral actions of cytokines. This publication is highly recommended to all neuroimmunomodulation researchers as it provides a comprehensive summary of the latest advances in this exciting field. These excellent state-of-the-art treatise are appropriate for all neuroscientists, immunologists and behaviorists.
