Bridging neuroscience, immunology, and pharmacology, and bringing together the foremost authorities, Neuroimmune Pharmacology and Therapeutics, 3rd edition, is an invaluable reference and textbook. The text discusses the immunology of the nervous system. New chapters are offered on innate, humoral, and cellular immune responses (innate and adaptive immunity). The additions join each component of the immune response in descriptions for how each affects nervous system function in both health and disease. Next, discussions of neuropharmacology now include both drug development and delivery into brain subregions to optimize clinical responses. This edition features greatly expanded coverage of therapeutics. The new extensions have blossomed into focused therapies engaging the immune system directly, deploying it for drug delivery, attracting the newly evolving field of genetics, vaccinations, and bioengineering, ultimately leading to improved therapeutic disease outcomes. All of the revisions in this edition are designed to bring an early trainee together with a skilled clinical and translational scientist to discuss the state of the art in each part of the emerging field of immunity as it affects the nervous system during steady state and disease and how it can be harnessed for therapeutics and clinical benefit.
