• Sommario/riassunto: Neuroinflammation has long been studied in its connection to the development and progression of Multiple Sclerosis. In recent years, the fied has expanded to look at the role of inflammatory processes in a wide range of neurological diseases and cognitive disorders including Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's and autism. Researchers have also started to appreciate the beneficial impacts of neuroinflammation in certain diseases. Neuroinflammation in the Central Nervous System looks across the discipline and provides a comprehnsive picture of the field.Neuroinflammation in the Central Nervous Sys
