Abstract:

Though mitochondria were traditionally thought to act only as cellular powerplants, it is clear today that they are central to various functions in nervous system like cell signaling, neurotransmission, synaptic plasticity, and glial cell functioning. Mitochondria in Neurological Diseases highlights various therapeutic approaches targeting mitochondria in neurological conditions. Focused on diverse neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, depression, and Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, topics span basic mitochondrial physiology to mitochondrial dynamics and to the altered states of the nervous system. This book is appropriate for anyone interested in learning more about the physiological and pathophysiological functions of mitochondria in the nervous system. Up-to-date information on role of mitochondria in nervous system for graduate students and researchersIncludes chapters on energy substrate utilization, calcium handling, mitochondria-organelle communication, and cell signalingDiscusses recent techniques in understanding mitochondrial functions in nervous systemEmphasizes the role of altered mitochondrial functions in various neurological conditions and their potential treatment strategies targeting mitochondriaChapters have references (key articles, books, protocols) for additional detailed study
