Publisher's Synopsis
The sixth in this series of Annals volumes brings together clinical and basic science researchers from many countries and disciplines in a common forum to address various approaches to neuroprotection. Topics covered include the following: clinical trials; clinical application of neuroprotective approaches; NMDA receptors as mediators of neurotoxicity and neuroprotection; models, mediators, and mechanisms of neurotoxicity and neuroprotection; dietary supplements as neuroprotectants; oxidative stress and approaches to neuroprotection; mitochondria as a target of neurotoxicity and neuroprotection; and genomic approaches. The 35 papers and 10 posters are taken from the Sixth International Conference on Neuroprotective Agents, held in September 2002 in South Carolina.
