Biomarkers of Brain Injury and Neurological Disorders

• Describes the different biomarker studies pertaining to brain injury and other neurological disorders
   
  Explores the different models and technologies used to identify these biological markers
   

  Covers a broad spectrum of disciplines and disorders such as spinal cord injury, stroke, neurosurgery, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease, and substance abuse 
  

   

  Discusses state-of-the-art technologies related to neurobiology tasks, neuroproteomics, microRNA, and biomarker-based molecular diagnostics
   

  Summary
  This book explores the recent advances in the techniques and platforms used in biomarker research that have revolutionized the way we study, diagnose, and treat brain injury conditions. The contributors describe different biomarker studies pertaining to brain injury and other neurological disorders and analyze the different models and technologies used to identify these biological markers. The book includes findings from "Omics research" that have been utilized to decipher and identify such biomarkers. It discusses protein, microRNA, and altered gene profiles and reviews neurological disorders such as multiple sclerosis, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, and prion and Alzheimer’s disease.
