Beschreibung
This book describes past and present advances in engineering materials for neural applications, with special emphasis on their usefulness for traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries.
The book presents major physio-pathological features of traumatic injuries at the brain and spinal cord as examples of diseases hampering the central nervous tissue. By incorporating knowledge from the perspective of experts with diverse backgrounds, this book gives insight into the understanding of these multifaceted pathologies and the materials science approaches that aim to cure them.
The interdisciplinary nature of this book makes it a perfect candidate for the interest of a broad audience, from clinicians working on neural diseases to scientists whose work focuses on the nervous tissue (neuroscientists) and/or materials science. Undergraduate and PhD students can also benefit from the knowledge and discussion included in this book.
Discusses past and present advances on the design and development of engineered materials for neural applications Employs traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries as concrete scenarios for neural actuation, such as recording, stimulation, repair, and reconnection Addresses a broad audience of clinicians working on neural diseases and scientists studying materials for neural recording and/or repair
