Distancing himself from the current trend towards the economically driven Anglo-American system of education, the author proposes an alternative model, "a university of the...
This book builds a novel bridge from molecular research to clinical therapy. This approach reveals the functional features of neurons and glia in the particular context of vulnerability and self-protection, intracellular properties and extracellular matrix. Arising from this platform, this volume unfolds the molecular and systemic processes...
