Rezensionen
From the reviews:
"A specialist book that aims to combine and present information about every existing animal model for multiple sclerosis. The target audience for this book includes neuroscientists, neurologists, immunologists, microbiologists, and neuropathologists. Clearly, some neuroradiologists ... will also benefit from the information in this book. For the readers of AJNR, it is thought that a primary use of this book might be a reference for those collaborating with basic neuroscientists. ... This will be a valuable resource for any scientists ... ." (American Journal of Neuroradiology, January, 2007)
