Summary:
In the past, the brain was considered an autonomous organ, completely separate from the body's immune system. But over the past twenty years, there have been revolutionary new understandings of brain health and repair. In this book Schwartz describes the discovery of connections between immune system and brain and the significance of those findings for future treatments of brain disorders and injuries, spinal cord injuries, glaucoma, depression, brain aging, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases.
