By employing a broad defi nition of what brain degeneration means, the authors are able to touch upon everything from dementias and CNS malignancy to traumatic brain injury and CNS infective processes. This book draws from and builds upon the original conference presentations, and incorporates the most up-to-date science behind brain degeneration as well as actual case reports. Each of the book?s six sections off er the reader a deeper understanding of brain degeneration as it exists in Sub-Saharan Africa. 606 $aNeurosciences 606 $aPublic health 606 $aNeurology  606 $aNeurosciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B18006 606 $aPublic Health$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H27002 606 $aNeurology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H36001 607 $aAfrica South of the Sahara 607 $aAfrica, Sub-Saharan$2fast 608 $aCongresses. 615 0$aNeurosciences. 615 0$aPublic health. 615 0$aNeurology . 615 14$aNeurosciences. 615 24$aPublic Health. 615 24$aNeurology. 676 $a610 676 $a612.8 676 $a613 676 $a614 676 $a616.8 702 $aMusisi$b Seggane$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aJacobson$b Stanley$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 712 12$aBrain Degenerations and Emerging Mental Health Challenges in Sub-Saharan Africa$f(2012 :$eKampala, Uganda) 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298294003321 996 $aBrain Degeneration and Dementia in Sub-Saharan Africa$92499294 997 $aUNINA
