Rommy von Bernhardi

Rommy von Bernhardi is professor of Neurology at the School of Medicine, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile (Santiago, Chile) and head of the Neuroscience lab. She obtained her Ph.D. in Neuroscience at the Universität Basel (Basel, Switzerland). Her research areas of interest concern: the biological mechanisms of clinical diseases of the CNS--particularly Alzheimer's disease and neurodegenerative pathology; as well as the functional and disease-related role of glial cells in the inflammation of the nervous system. She is coauthor and coeditor of over 80 scientific publications. Dr. Von Bernhardi is also a member of several distinguished societies such as the Society for Neuroscience and the International Brain Research Organization (IBRO); she was president of the Sociedad Chilena Neurociencia and is currently head of FALAN (Federación Latinoamericana y del Caribe de Neurociencia). 
The Plastic Brain

The Plastic Brain

A comprehensive overview of the many factors that can influence brain plasticity throughout the lifespan. Addresses perinatal plasticity, functional state plasticity, injury-induced plasticity, and stressor-induced plasticity. Because it looks at so many aspects of the field, this volume will serve as a great resource for students as well as researchers interested in expanding their knowledge.

Glial Cells in Health and Disease of the CNS

Glial Cells in Health and Disease of the CNS

A timely overview covering the three major types of glial cells in the central nervous system - astrocytes, microglia, and oligodendrocytes. New findings on glia biology are overturning a century of conventional thinking about how the brain operates and are expanding our knowledge about information processing in the brain.
