The chapters contained in this volume show scientific relationships among historically separated fields. This allows a unique opportunity for scientists and students to gain broad knowledge in disparate fields of clinical medicine and biomedical research. Overall, the text integrates cutting-edge neuroscience, immunology, pharmacology, neurogenetics, neurogenesis, gene therapy, adjuvant therapy, proteomics, and magnetic resonance imaging. It is a rich harvest and readers will gain a perspective that has not been readily available. Exposure to such a wealth of ideas is bound to inspire readers to undertake new and productive research initiatives. In summary, this is a volume not to be put on the shelf as a reference, but to be read cover to cover by aspiring neuroscientists.

This exciting new textbook, Neuroimmune Pharmacology, reflects the history and vision of the Society on NeuroImmune Pharmacology and of the Society's official publication, the Journal of Neuroimmune Pharmacology. All three represent deliberations arising from a relatively young, interdisciplinary, and dynamic field of research, which have major translational implications for neurodegenerative, neuroinflammatory, neuropsychiatric diseases, and infections of the nervous system. They all demonstrate the synergistic value of integrating the parts: Neuroscience, Immunology, and Pharmacology. The extraordinary accomplishment of Neuroimmune Pharmacology is its comprehensive nature. It will be enthusiastically welcomed by members of the Society and will serve as the definitive resource for all students and researchers interested in various topics that are so well covered in the book.

" This book Neuroimmune Pharmacology edited by Drs. Ikezu and Gendelman presents a complete and comprehensive assessment of the basic concepts, current research, and cutting-edge technology regarding the disciplines of neuroscience, immunology, and pharmacology that has been assembled by more than 80 experts. It is an in-depth resource for beginners as well as for experts in the field. The text is clear and concise and includes pertinent concepts related to the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases from a viewpoint of basic immunology and pharmacology. "
" The topics are concise, bolstered by datafrom pioneering and current research in the area, and conclude with a summary and a series of review questions. Each section leads into the next section so as to establish afoundation for the subsequent topic area to be addressed. The ordering of the sections is particularly beneficial to students just starting out in the field, allowing them to grasp the fundamental concepts of neuroanatomy, neurobiology, and neuroimmunology before applying that knowledge to specific disease states. Advanced students will also find the textbook helpful in offering a review of previously learned concepts and a multiplicity of chapters that comprehensively cover specific topics to be addressed in the later two sections.
