Gene transfer technology is a powerful tool for increasing
our understandingof brain functions. It is also the basis
of gene therapy, which is now technically possible for the
correction of many human diseases, including several
disorders of the nervous (and muscular) system such as
Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and dystrophy.
This volume,which contains the proceedings of a symposium
of the Fondation Ipsen, provides a unique view of the state
of the art on different transgenes, vectors, target cells,
and clinical applications related to the nervous system.
