This non-fiction book informs those interested in neuroscience and medicine about the latest findings on the therapy of neurodegeneration with a focus on Alzheimer's dementia and Parkinson's disease. What happens in the brain when we are ageing? How does neuronal cell death occur when we become forgetful? Which new therapies are available to combat the death of brain cells?
Supported by illustrative drawings, Lars P. Klimaschewski presents the latest developments in neurobiological ageing research in an understandable way and reports exciting news from the Alzheimer's and Parkinson's laboratories worldwide. On his personal website klimasbrainblog.com, Lars P. Klimaschewski provides up-to-date and in-depth information on the book.
