Whimpers and bangs: of death and dying in the nervous system.
Mechanisms of cell death in general and in the nervous system in particular have received increasing attention over the past several years. Recent studies have begun to address the pathogenetic and therapeutic implications of these mechanisms vis-a-vis human disease. This review is aimed at putting the rapidly evolving vocabulary and body of knowledge regarding cell death in the perspective of neurologic disease of childhood.
