序

　　This Eighth Edition of Basic Neurochemistry: Principles of Molecular, Cellular and Medical Neurobiology encompasses 40 years of progress in neurochemistry since its first edition, entitled Basic Neurochemistry: Molecular, Cellular and Medical Aspects. This seems and appropriate time to consider the progress of neurochemistry and of this book. To make this brief, we will consider only two topics, both featured prominently in this edition: neurodegeneration and neuroimmunology. When the first edition was being written, the neurochemistry of neurodegenerative disease was in its infancy, while neuroimmunology didn’t exist as a discipline.
