Currently, few drugs are available for the effective treatment of neuro degenerative disease and neurodevelopmental disorders. Recent advances in neuroscience research offer hope that future strategies for treating these brain disorders will includeneurogenesis and neuroenhancement as therapeutic endpoints. This volume reviews cutting-edge findings related to the pharmacological aspects ofneurogenesis and neuroprotection. A broad range of topics are covered from basic lab bench research to drug discovery efforts and important clinical issues. This collection of reviews is a perfect way to become acquainted with these exciting new fields in the space of a single volume. Chapters are written with a general audience in mind, but with enough high-level discussion to appeal to specialists and experts as well.
