Interest in neurology and neuroscience has never been greater. Neurodegenerative diseases are an increasing cause for concern due to our ageing population, injuries to the brain sustained in sport and combat demand scientific understanding, and the need for more effective treatments for psychiatric disorders remains urgent.

The books in this set provide fundamental knowledge in these fields, and cover the latest information on important biomarkers, drugs and drug targets.

This set will be an essential resource for researchers in medicinal chemistry, drug discovery, and neuroscience and consists of:
