Trace Elements in Brain Health and Diseases (Nutritional Neurosciences)

By Wael Mohamed, Rajat Sandhir

Trace elements play an essential role in the development, function, metabolism, and overall health of the brain. They are known to modulate various metabolic pathways, mitochondrial nutrients, central nervous system (CNS) disorders, neurotransmitter biology, and neuronal functions. However, the deficiency or excess of trace elements can lead to oxidative stress, neurodegeneration, and various neurological disorders. The book titled “Trace Elements in Brain Function and Dysfunction: Mechanisms and Roles in Neurodegenerative Diseases” by Wael Mohamed and Rajat Sandhir, explores the molecular mechanisms of trace elements and their impact on neuronal functions and CNS disorders.

The book provides an extensive review of the molecular mechanisms of the effects of trace elements on various pathways in the brain. It discusses the transport mechanisms of trace elements within the CNS and their impact on neurotransmitter biology. It also explores the negative effects of dyshomeostasis of trace elements in the CNS, resulting in damage to neurons and glial cells through the generation of reactive oxygen species and oxidative stress, leading to neurodegeneration and neurological dysfunction.

The book delves deeper into the putative role of trace element deficiency in psychiatric disorders, including depression, and the imbalance of trace elements on neuronal genomic stability. It is an excellent resource for researchers, professionals, and students interested in neuroscience, neurobiology, and biomedical sciences. It is also an essential read for clinicians interested in exploring the role of trace elements in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of neurological disorders.

The authors have carefully documented their findings in 183 pages, making it an easy read for anyone interested in the subject. The eBook is also highly accessible and offers an excellent value proposition for those looking for in-depth knowledge on the subject. The book is published by Springer, known for providing top-quality resource materials for researchers, academics, and professionals.

In conclusion, “Trace Elements in Brain Function and Dysfunction: Mechanisms and Roles in Neurodegenerative Diseases” is an essential book for anyone interested in the role of trace elements in brain function, metabolism, and neurodegenerative disorders. The book offers a comprehensive review of the molecular mechanisms underlying trace elements and their impact on the CNS. It is a valuable resource for professionals, students, and researchers alike. We highly recommend this book to anyone looking to expand their knowledge on this fascinating subject. Place your order today, and start exploring the intricate world of trace elements in the brain.
