Metal Ion in Stroke
This book illustrates remarkable roles of metal ions in the neuropathophysiology of stroke, which is a major cause of death and disability worldwide. Metal ions have unique chemical properties that allow them to play diverse roles in the brain. They regul

In the case of neuronal injury and death, to this reviewer’s knowledge, the first explicit mechanist model of neuronal injury after stroke was advanced over 100 years after Virchow, in the 1970s. That first model was the “calcium influx” model of Farber (1981) who in turn (acco
