Diving into the future of neurodegenerative disorders, A Review on Diverse Neurological Disorders: Pathophysiology, Molecular Mechanisms, and Therapeutics presents an unprecedented compilation of knowledge. It embarks on a journey from the roots of mental disorders, through bacterial and fungal invasions, viral attacks, and genetic predispositions, offering a comprehensive understanding of the neurological landscape. Each chapter uncovers the mysteries behind these debilitating conditions, from the pathogenesis of central nervous system tuberculosis to the role of endocannabinoids in rabies infection. This book’s exploration extends to neuroinflammation, axonal pathology, and the intricate interplay of diet, gut microbiomes, and cognitive decline. It leaves no stone unturned in unravelling the complexities of neurodegeneration, offering a glimmer of hope through probiotics and natural bioactive compounds in preventing diseases like Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). With meticulous discussions on vitamins, micronutrients, antioxidants, and nutraceuticals, this book provides a roadmap for neuroprotection. ‘Neurological Disorders and Neurodegeneration’ is a groundbreaking resource that paves the way for future treatments and innovations, making it an essential read for professionals and enthusiasts alike.
