This text deals with concepts and experimental possibilities which could not have been anticipated 10 years ago. Recent hard evidence that neuronal cells in the central nervous system possess a capability for recovery after trauma well beyond that previously recognized poses many fundamental and secondary questions. For example: is there a programmed cell death phenomenon in the mature brain? Under what circumstances do neurotransmitters promote trophic responses in neurons or provoke cell death? How might environmental or toxic molecules be responsible for specific neuronal damage? These and many other questions were extensively discussed at the Madrid conference on which this volume is partly based. Various additional invited papers are contained in this work on neuronal cell death and repair.
