Klappentext Clinical Neuroimmunology is the major reference text in its field. It provides crucial information for basic scientists and clinicians on the interactions between the immunological and neurological systems in neurological diseases. Understanding these interactions is fundamental to developing therapies for these important conditions (such as multiple sclerosis and HIV-related neural degeneration) which can cause life-long disability.
