Despite numerous recent studies and exciting discoveries in the field, only limited treatment is available today for the victims of acute neurological injuries. Animal Models of Acute Neurological Injuries provides a standardized methodology manual designed to eliminate the inconsistent preparations and variability that currently jeopardizes advances in the field. Contributed by top experts and many original developers of the models, each chapter contains a step-by-step, proven procedure and visual aids covering the most commonly used animal models of neurological injury in order to highlight the practical applications of animal models rather than the theoretical issues. This intensive volumepresents its readily reproducible protocols with great clarity and consistency to best aid neuroscientists and neurobiologists in laboratory testing and experimentation. Forty established animal models for acute neurological injury Special chapters on animal anesthesia, monitoring and tissue harvesting Step-by-step manual on all aspects of technical issues related to animal modeling Full color photographs on all key surgical steps Written by experts in each fieldand by the original developers of the animal models INDICE: From the contents Foreword.
