Samenvatting:

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. - Highlights the influence of nutritional disorders on nervous system development - Describes sensory, cerebral, and endocrine function in the regulatory processes of eating behaviors - Covers the relationship between the central nervous system, enteric nervous system, and intestinal microbiota - Explains how intestinal microbiota influences the body's homeostasis and neuroinflammation
