Nutritional Neuroscience

Nutritional Neuroscience: From Bench to Bedside navigates the complex connections between nutrition and neurological health, from neurodevelopmental disorders influenced by early-life malnutrition to the neuroprotective effects of functional foods. Each chapter offers a detailed examination of the latest research in the field, spanning the mechanisms of taste and food processing in the brain, the impact of dietary interventions on inflammation and blood-brain barrier function, and the link between metabolic disorders and neurodegenerative diseases. This book sits at the forefront of nutritional neuroscience, where cutting-edge research meets practical application, and equips its readers with a holistic understanding of how nutrition influences brain health at all ages. Bridging the gap between laboratory discoveries and clinical practice, this book offers a roadmap for future research and interventions in the f ield of nutritional neuroscience.
