- Kurztext
- This book highlights the effect of complex interactions between numerous genetic and environmental factors, including food intake, physical activity, age, and stress on brain physiology and function. It further discusses the mechanistic connection between nutrition and aging towards understanding the effect of the brain on longevity. The book also reviews the efficiency of nutraceutical compounds for treating and preventing of neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders. It also discusses the role of gut microbiota on the gut-brain axis and presents the role of nutrition in neurological inflammatory diseases.
