Full Description
Stress and The Brain: Evidence from Molecular Mechanisms to Interventions and Therapies is a comprehensive exploration of how stress affects the brain at a molecular level and its broader implications for mental and neurological health. The book delves into the mechanisms by which stress triggers changes in brain function, including the activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, synaptic plasticity alterations, oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, and mitochondrial dysfunction. It examines how these molecular processes contribute to conditions such as neurodegeneration, anxiety, depression, and other stress-related disorders. Furthermore, the book provides an in-depth analysis of current therapeutic interventions, both pharmacological and behavioral, as well as natural antidotes that aim to mitigate the adverse effects of stress on the brain. By synthesizing evidence from cutting-edge research, this book offers valuable insights for scientists, clinicians, and mental health professionals seeking to understand and address the complex interplay between stress and brain health.
