Mitochondria play a dominant role in the life and function of eukaryotic cells including neurons and glia, as their survival and activity depend upon mitochondrial energy production and supply. Besides energy production, mitochondria also play a vital role in calcium homeostasis and may induce apoptosis by excitotoxicity. Mitochondrial dysfunction is related to common neurological diseases, such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, Friedreich's ataxia, Huntington's disease, and Multiple Sclerosis. An efficient treatment of mitochondrial dysfunction would open new horizons in the therapeutic perspectives of a substantial number of inflammatory and degenerative neurological disorders. 606 $aMitochondria 606 $aBrain$xDiseases$xEtiology 615 0$aMitochondria. 615 0$aBrain$xDiseases$xEtiology. 676 $a571.657 702 $aBaloyannis$b Stavros J. 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910688461603321 996 $aMitochondria and Brain Disorders$91944353 997 $aUNINA
