Description
According to World Health Organization (WHO) one billion people worldwide are affected by one of the thousands of neurological disorders, including epilepsy, Alzheimer disease, strokes, and headaches. Neurological disorders also include brain injuries, neuroinfections, multiple sclerosis and Parkinson disease. A Review on Neurological Disorders: Pathophysiology, Molecular Mechanisms, and Therapeutics covers the major topics related to neurological disorders, current challenges in diagnosis and intervention. This book is organized into four distinct sections, starting with an introduction, providing a general overview of the epidemiology of neurological disorders, pathogenesis and management. The second section presents the aspects of brain diseases due to infection of bacteria, parasite, fungus and viruses. The third section discusses neurodegenerative disorders due to comorbid factors like diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and post traumatic brain injuries. The last section covers prevention through application of bioactive compounds and neuroprotective agents.- Epidemiology of neurological disorders and pathogenesis.- Explores neuroinflammation, ligand-receptors binding, and neurodegeneration.- Discusses aging and associated disorders in the onset of neurological disorders.- Neuropharmacology and the protective role of bioactive compounds in neuroprotection.
