      abstract = {What happens in the brain when we are ageing? How does  neuronal cell death occur when we become forgetful? Which  new therapies are available to combat the death of brain  cells? This non-fiction book informs those interested in  neuroscience and medicine about the latest findings on the  therapy of neurodegeneration with a focus on Alzheimer's  dementia and Parkinson's disease. Supported by illustrative  drawings, Lars P. Klimaschewski presents the latest  developments in neurobiological research on ageing in a  comprehensible way and reports exciting news from the  Alzheimer's and Parkinson's laboratories worldwide. From  the contents Introduction to brain development: Why do we  need billions of nerve cells? What distinguishes our  cerebral cortex from that of other mammals? - Ageing and  neurodegenerative diseases: Why are nerve cells lost? The  normal ageing process; B-synuclein: A key protein in  Parkinson's disease; Dementia and Alzheimer's disease: The  amyloid and tau pathology; Viral infections in  neurodegenerative diseases: Does Covid-19 lead to  neurodegeneration? - Saving or replacing nerve cells: Stem  cell, immune or antisense therapies? The author Prof. Dr.  med. Lars P. Klimaschewski is a professor at the Medical  University of Innsbruck, head of the Institute of  Neuroanatomy there and the author of numerous papers on  neuronal degeneration and regeneration.},
