      Epigenetic Mechanisms in Brain Physiology and Disorders offers an in-depth exploration of how epigenetic processes influence the brain throughout the human lifespan. From embryogenesis to aging, the book delves into the dynamic ways that DNA methylation and other epigenetic mechanisms regulate genome function and guide the development, maintenance, and adaptation of the nervous system. Readers gain insight into the molecular events underpinning brain physiology and pathology, including how genes are turned on or off in response to environmental cues, and how these changes shape neurodevelopment, cognitive function, and susceptibility to disorders.The book addresses epigenetic contributions to cell type differentiation and their impact on memory, learning, and neuronal signaling. It also examines the influence of epigenetics on sleep, feeding, metabolism, sex differences, temperature regulation, and cardiovascular health. A significant portion is dedicated to the relationship between epigenetic changes and neuropsychiatric, neurological, and behavioral disorders, emphasizing current advancements in diagnostics and therapeutics that utilize epigenetic markers and interventions to improve patient outcomes.
