Summary
This is a brief overview of some of the technologies developed and findings obtained in recent years in laboratories headed by the present author. It is hoped that some of them may contribute to a molecular understanding of neuronal functions and neuronal cell death, and also to the development of new clinical methods for rescuing brain damage lesions.
Some of our data on molecular and cellular biology of neuronal functions and neuronal cell death are reviewed here in the hope of offering some hints to neurosurgeons.
Presented at the 2nd International Workshop on Maturation Phenomenon in Cerebral Ischemia — Neuronal Recovery and Plasticity, April 1, 1996, Tokyo, Japan
