Overview

This book comprehensively reviews the recent progress in their pathogenesis and management approaches for neurological disorders. It focuses on understanding the molecular mechanism, pathology, novel nanotechnology-based approaches against stroke, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, Multiple sclerosis, and Epilepsy.

Content and Focus

The book provides the basic understanding about the development and progression of these diseases, and recent pharmacotherapeutic approaches for their management. It also discusses challenges in drug development for neurological disorders, including preclinical models of disorders, the need for drugs to cross the blood-brain barrier, and limited understanding of relevant pathophysiology.

Strategies and Technologies

The book also focuses on different conventional and novel strategies for drug delivery in neurological disorders. Towards the end, the book reviews the applications of nanotechnology for the diagnosis of neurological disorders.

Special Topics

One of the chapters is focused on the role of herbal actives in the treatment of neurological disorders. Finally, a chapter is included on nanotechnology-based approaches for diagnosis of neurological disorders.

Intended Audience

This book is a useful resource for students and researchers of pharmaceutical sciences, life sciences, material sciences, and nanosciences.
