Availability Information

We source books from suppliers in Australia and overseas. For books we don't currently have in stock, the time it takes to get them from our suppliers can vary widely - from a few days to a few months - so we check each book with each supplier to determine the expected time it will take to be supplied to us.

We then advise you accordingly. If the time taken to get any book is too long for you, you can let us know and we will cancel or adjust your order, and refund as required.

Series: Advances in Neurobiology

This new book extensively explores a range of topics related to astrocyte-neuron interactions under multiple conditions, in both health and disease. These include the types of interactions that occur during development and the establishment of neuronal circuits that underlie learning and memory formation in various animal models as well as humans. Furthermore, the book addresses topics on how these interactions go awry in disease and injury. In addition, the authors propose inspiring new avenues to explore therapeutic approaches using astrocytes as targets. A cadre of international experts presents a broad range of views on the state-of-the-art of astrocyte-neuron interactions.

Elena Blanco-Suarez, PhD, is an Assistant Professor in the Departments of Neuroscience and Neurological Surgery at the Vickie and Jack Farber Institute for Neuroscience in Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia. Isabella Farhy-Tselnicker, PhD, is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biology in Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas. Drs. Blanco-Suarez and Farhy-Tselnicker trained together as postdoctoral fellows, becoming experts in astrocyte-neuron interactions during development and synaptic maturation in mouse models. In 2020, both started their independent careers as Assistant Professors. Dr. Blanco-Suarez's research focuses on the study of astrocyte-mediated neuroplasticity in the context of ischemic stroke, while Dr. Farhy-Tselnicker's lab investigates astrocyte-neuron interactions necessary to shape synapse development and activity. With this book, they brought in experts from across the globe to give current insights into how the crosstalk between astrocytes and neurons is essential for shaping the central nervous system and constitutes a very interesting target for future investigations in disease and injury.
