The second edition of Neuroimmune Pharmacology bridges the disciplines of neuroscience, immunology and pharmacology from the molecular to clinical levels with particular thought made to engage new research directives and clinical modalities.
Bringing together the foremost field authorities from around the world, Neuroimmune Pharmacology will serve as an invaluable resource for?the basic and applied scientists of the current decade and beyond.
