Focuses on the effects of natural products and their active components
on brain function and neurodegenerative disease prevention.
Phytochemicals such as alkaloids, terpenes, flavanoids, isoflavones,
saponins etc are known to possess protective activity against many
neurological diseases. The molecular mechanisms behind the curative
effects rely mainly on the action of phytonutrients on distinct
signaling pathways associated with protein folding and
neuro-inflammation. The diverse array of bioactive nutrients present
in these natural products plays a pivotal role in prevention and cure
of various neurodegenerative diseases, disorders, or insults, such as
Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's Disease, Huntington's Disease,
traumatic brain injury, and other neuronal dysfunctions. However, the
use of these antioxidants in the management of neurodegenerative
conditions has so far been not well understood. This is a
comprehensive collection addressing the effects on the brain of
natural products and edible items such as reservatrol, curcumin,
gingerol, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and marine products.
