Mitochondria in Neurological Disorders

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.

• Provides up-to-date information on role of mitochondria in nervous system for graduate students and researchers
• Presents chapters on energy substrate utilization, calcium handling, mitochondria-organelle communication, and cell signaling
• Discusses recent techniques in understanding mitochondrial functions in the nervous system
• Emphasizes the role of altered mitochondrial functions in various neurological conditions and their potential treatment strategies for targeting mitochondria
• Includes chapter references (key articles, books, protocols) for additional detailed study
