Abstract
Clinical possibilities in many neurological conditions are limited by our current inability to correct structural damage to the nervous system, and treatments to prevent damage are also limited. Current research has produced promising treatments that promote neuroprotection, plasticity, axon regeneration, remyelination and cell replacement. As these treatments go through clinical trials and enter the clinic, the treatment of several neurological conditions will change greatly.
- alzheimer's disease
- axon regeneration
- head injury
- multiple sclerosis
- plasticity
- spinal cord injury
- stem cells
- stroke
