Neurobiology of Cytokines, Part B

Recent data suggest a critical role for cytokines in the regulation of brain and endocrine function under normal physiological conditions. The aim of this volume and its companion Volume 16 is to provide an overview of the effects of cytokines in the brain and in the endocrine system.

• Methods presented for easy adaptation to new systems
• Comprehensive protocols included for: The synthesis and release of cytokines; The study of their central nervous system actions; Studying the role of cytokines in human neuropathological conditions
