Foreword. Preface. Contributors -- Part I: Animal Care and Surgery -- Part II: Cerebral Ischemic Animal Models. Section I: Global Cerebral Ischemic Models. Section II: Focal Cerebral Ischemic Models. Section III: Neonatal Hypoxia-Ischemia -- Part III: Cerebral Hemorrhage Animal Models. Section I: Subarachnoid Hemorrhage. Section II: Cerebral Vasospasm. Section III: Intracerebral Hemorrhage -- Part IV: Traumatic CNS injury Animal Models. Section I: Experimental Brain Injury Models. Section II: Experimental Spinal Cord Injury Models.

Despite numerous recent studies and exciting discoveries in the field, only limited treatment is available today for the victims of acute neurological injuries.  Animal Models of Acute Neurological Injuries provides a standardized methodology manual designed to eliminate the inconsistent preparations and variability that currently jeopardizes advances in the field. Contributed by top experts and many original developers of the models, each chapter contains a step-by-step, proven procedure and visual aids covering the most commonly used animal models of neurological injury in order to highlight the practical applications of animal models rather than the theoretical issues.  This intensive volume presents its readily reproducible protocols with great clarity and consistency to best aid neuroscientists and neurobiologists in laboratory testing and experimentation.

Comprehensive and cutting-edge, Animal Models of Acute Neurological Injuries is an ideal guide for scientists and researchers who wish to pursue this vital course of study with the proficiency and precision that the field requires.
