This book is the culmination of fifteen years of research on the transplantation of dopaminergic neurons in the striatum of the weaver mouse (wv/wv), a neurological mutant characterized by genetically-determined degeneration of midbrain dopamine neurons. This mutant constitutes the only available laboratory model with a chronic disorder that mimics Parkinson's disease. Structural and functional aspects of intrastriatal mesencephalic neuron grafting into the weaver model are reviewed, including histochemical correlates of graft survival and integration, numerical aspects of donor cell survival, ultrastructural findings on synaptogenesis, neurochemical indices of dopamine uptake and receptor binding, gene expression of structural and neurotransmitter-receptor related molecules, levels of striatal amino acid receptors, and behavioural effects of unilateral and bilateral neuronal transplantations.

Dopaminergic Neuron Transplantation in the Weaver Mouse Model of Parkinson’s Disease (Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology)

This book presents aspects of the life and work of the Prussian-Jewish composer Moritz Moszkowski (1854-1925). It includes a recollection on Moszkowski written by his piano pupil Bernhard Pollack (1865-1928), who was Professor of Ophthalmology at Friedrich Wilhelm University and a world-class pianist. The booklet revives memories of artistic life in fin-du-si#65533;cle Berlin.

The book explores the coloured tonality in the music of the avant-garde Russian composer and pianist, Alexander N. Scriabin (1872-1915). It reviews his biographies and direct testimonies, especially the willful inditing of auditory, visual, olfactory and tactile elements into his late composing act towards a multisensory integration. A special reference is made to Scriabin’s 1914 encounter with the physician and psychologist Charles S. Myers (1873-1946) at the University of Cambridge. Inborn synaesthesia is disentangled from the consciously contrived syn-aesthetics. In Scriabin’s case, the term ‘synaesthesia’ - often associated with the composer - may more accurately pertain to philosophical aesthetics (aisthetike) than psychophysiological sensation (aisthesis). Scriabin’s amalgam of music, spectacle and intuition at the dawn of the previous century antedates the multimedia actuality of our era.

The book comprises biographical notes, of about 1000 words each, with a portrait photo, of 90 influential figures of the famous prewar Viennese school of neuropsychiatry, appearing together for the first time in a single volume. The entries focus on the academic lives and scientific contributions of pioneers in the neurological sciences viewed from a modern perspective. These updated profiles are based on substantial new research. The book includes a wide range of people, some famous Nobel laureates, and others less well known, from the era when Vienna was the epicenter of brain research. Despite the tragic circumstances of two World Wars, these pioneers remained resilient, willing to help others with an admirable dignity against adversity that leaves an indelible lesson to the later generations. Some fell victim of the Holocaust. Others overcame the constraints of National Socialism and ultimately settled overseas to nurture their ambitions and pursue their intellectual goals as physicians, researchers, and teachers. The monograph is a useful source for scholars interested in the evolution of ideas in basic neuroscience, clinical neurology, and neuropsychiatry, and the investigators who effected them.
