      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.

      Appetite Interrupted: The Role of Predators in Shaping the Behavioral Ecology and Physiology of Satiety explores how mechanisms suppress feeding in vertebrates within both physiological and ecological contexts. Highlighting predation's role as a selective pressure, the book identifies novel neuroendocrine pathways through future research. Written by an expert, it systematically examines the behavioral ecology, evolutionary pressures, physiological processes, and stressors affecting foraging and feeding behaviors in vertebrates. The book covers why animals stop eating, selective pressures driving the evolution of hunger suppression mechanisms, and physiological controls inhibiting feeding, including stress, anxiety, and fear.It concludes with humans' pathways and obesity evolution, offering practical applications for human nutrition.

      Fatigue is a prevalent problem and adequate treatment is challenging because many conditions, disorders, medications, and lifestyle factors can cause fatigue. The Scientific Basis of Fatigue combines evidence-based research and clinical treatment protocols to provide a comprehensive reference to fatigue. This book is divided into seven distinct sections, starting with an introduction section defining the distinctions between physical and mental fatigue. The second and third sections detail the various conditions in both physical and mental fatigue including COVID, Parkinson disease, and depression. The next section reviews the current research on molecular and cellular aspects and models of fatigue. The final two sections review options for diagnosis and treatments for fatigue and provides a detailed resource section for further review.

      Brain and Crime, Volume 197 reviews the relation between brain function and aggressive and rule-breaking (criminal) behavior. The book's focus is on the violation of social rules and not on violation of regulations that are different in different counties. It discusses the development of this behavior from childhood into adulthood, along with the mechanisms associated with the risk for aggression and rule-breaking behavior. In addition, it explores from a behavioral level concepts like psychopathology, syndrome and concepts from law, such as crime, defendant and offender. Finally, sections explore brain function, including emotion, cognitive processes, and decision-making. From the perspective of brain structure, the book covers brain networks and brain disorders. In genetics, the book includes the influence of genes and the mechanisms of epigenetics. All chapters are intended to provide information for use in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders, and in assessment and prevention.
