Neuropathology is the study of diseases that affect the nervous system, comprising the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. This specialized field investigates the structural and functional changes in neural tissues caused by various disorders, including infections, tumors, degenerative diseases (like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's), and traumatic injuries. By analyzing tissues through microscopic examination, neuropathologists aim to understand the underlying mechanisms of neurological conditions, their progression, and potential treatments. This discipline plays a crucial role in diagnosing neurological diseases, guiding therapeutic strategies, and advancing research into new therapies. Through neuropathology, insights are made into how neural tissues respond to disease processes, aiding in the development of targeted interventions to improve patient outcomes and quality of life. This book unravels the recent studies in the field of neuropathology. The objective of this book is to give a general view of the different areas of neuropathology, and its applications. This book is a vital tool for all researching and studying this field.
