Reviews

This well-structured and balanced account of our current knowledge of immune and inflammatory aspects of CNS disorders will appeal to researchers and clinicians alike. Journal of Neurology ... provides a clear, concise, informative, and most importantly, readable, collection of up-to-date essays on various aspects of inflammation in the CNS. Because of the diversity of the contributor's view points, I think that it would provide a good introduction for those unfamiliar with inflammation or for those unfamiliar with the special problems relating to the nervous system.
