This book provides a comprehensive and up to date compendium that brings together contributions on the structure, function and pathophysiology of axons in both the peripheral and central nervous systems. Authoritative and superbly illustrated, the 33 chapters and introduction have been authored by 49 world-renowned authorities. New areas, such as the molecular biology of ion channels and of myelination, the role of calcium in pathophysiology and regeneration, cell adhesion molecules and their roles in axo-glial interactions and axonal guidance, and optical recording methods, are highlighted. A generously referenced book which will provide essential reference to those working in this field.

"A very nice compendium of current information about axonal histological structure, physiology and pathophysiology. There is an 'all star' cast of authors."--Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences "The Axon: Structure, Function and Pathophysiology is an excellent addition to the field of axon physiology and pathophysiology. The book is well written and topics are thoroughly covered in a fashion suitable for both basic and clinical neuroscientists. The high-quality illustrations and photomicrographs and the succinct figure legends make it easy for readers to find and understand key points this book should become an important reference for people seeking a better understanding of axon biology."--New England Journal of Medicine "The illustrations are outstanding....The photomicrographs of nerves are the best that I have seen....The chapters are heavily referenced, with almost all having citations of articles from 1994 and even, in a chapter or two, 1995. This is unusual and remarkable. The authors have produced an encyclopedic reference book with material that is almost as up-to-date as a journal article....Waxman, Kocsis and Stys have edited an excellent reference volume that is up-to-date and extremely well illustrated. This is the sort of book that should be a standard in neurology and neurosurgery department libraries regardless of academic orientation. For departments of ophthamology and otolaryngology, this book is also a must."--Journal of the American Medical Association Noted, not reviewed, in Doody's Journal "An impressive book....with elegant descriptions....There are many stunning freeze-fracture and electron micrographs....The breadth of this book will improve knowledge about the axon for both basic and clinical scientists.This is to be welcomed."--Trends in Neurosciences
