Nutritional Neuroscience: From Bench to Bedside explores topics ranging from neurodevelopmental disorders stemming from early-life malnutrition to the neuroprotective effects of functional foods. This comprehensive guide navigates the complex landscape of how what we eat shapes our neurological health. From reviewing the mechanisms of taste and food processing in the brain to dissecting the impact of dietary interventions on neurobehavior in society, each chapter offers a detailed examination of the latest research, providing valuable insights for both researchers and practitioners alike. This book demonstrates the forefront of nutritional neuroscience, where cutting-edge research meets practical applications. Chapters discuss the impact of hypercaloric diets on inflammation and blood-brain barrier function to the connection between metabolic disorders and neurodegenerative diseases and equips readers with a holistic understanding of how nutrition influences brain health across the lifespan. Bridging the gap between laboratory discoveries and clinical practice, Nutritional Neuroscience: From Bench to Bedside offers a roadmap for future research and interventions in the field of nutritional neuroscience.
- Highlights the influence of eating and nutrition disorders and associated consequences in the nervous system development
- Describes the sensory, cerebral, and endocrine involvement in the regulatory processes of eating behaviors
- Covers the relationship between the central nervous system (CNS), enteric nervous system (ENS), and intestinal microbiota
- Explains how the intestinal microbiota influences the body's homeostasis and neuroinflammation

Reinaldo B. Oria
Reinaldo Oria is a distinguished professor in the field of Histology, Pharmacology and Infectious Diseases, with a strong focus on tissue healing mechanisms and neuroscience research. He earned his Veterinary Medicine degree from the State University of Ceara in 1992 and pursued further academic pursuits that cemented his expertise. His pursuit of knowledge led him to complete a sandwich doctorate in Pharmacology from the Federal University of Ceara, which included training at the prestigious University of Virginia Center for Global Health and Infectious Diseases Division under the guidance of Dr. Richard L. Guerrant from 2002 to 2004. Dr. Oria also completed a research fellowship at the University of Virginia in 2008 and 2017. Since 2005, Oria has served as a dedicated professor in the Department of Morphology at the Faculty of Medicine of the Federal University of Ceara (UFC), where he imparts his knowledge to students through teaching Human Histology and Embryology. He’s been instrumental in advancing research through his involvement in the Image Processing Nucleus (NEMPI) and his role as the founder and coordinator of the Tissue Healing Biology Laboratory (LABICONTE) at the UFC Biomedicine Center. Oria’s research interests are wide-ranging and impactful, spanning topics like apolipoprotein E, metallopharmaceuticals, mercury intoxication, and micronutrients in various animal models and clinical studies. He has shown his commitment to academic leadership by steering the PhD Graduate Program in Medical Sciences and the Graduate Program in Morphofunctional Sciences, both at the Faculty of Medicine / UFC. Notably, his participation in the INCT Steering Committee on Brain Health underscores his influence on the national stage of neuroscience research. He is an accomplished academic who excels in teaching and research. His expertise in the field of tissue healing and neuroscience has had a significant impact on the scientific community in Brazil and beyond.
