Stress and The Brain: Evidence from Molecular Mechanisms to Interventions and Therapies is a comprehensive exploration of how stress affects the brain at a molecular level and its broader implications for mental and neurological health. The book delves into the mechanisms by which stress triggers changes in brain function, including the activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, synaptic plasticity alterations, oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, and mitochondrial dysfunction. It examines how these molecular processes contribute to conditions such as neurodegeneration, anxiety, depression, and other stress-related disorders. Furthermore, the book provides an in-depth analysis of current therapeutic interventions, both pharmacological and behavioral, as well as natural antidotes that aim to mitigate the adverse effects of stress on the brain. By synthesizing evidence from cutting-edge research, this book offers valuable insights for scientists, clinicians, and mental health professionals seeking to understand and address the complex interplay between stress and brain health.

Early Detection in Alzheimer's Disease

Early Detection of Alzheimer’s Disease: Biological and Technological Advances aims to introduce to a wide audience the high global priority problem of detecting AD prior to dementia onset. According to the Alzheimer’s Association, 5.8 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s and care costs will cost the nation approximately $290 billion (2019 Alzheimer’s Disease Facts and Figures). With the failure of recent AD drug trials, many hypothesize that by the time symptoms appear, it is too late to be treated. Early detection can offer benefits such as more choice of medications, ability to participate in clinical trials, more time for family and for care planning. This book outlines potential solutions to the above problem using opportunities arising from the technology revolution, advances in neuroscience, and molecular biology. Most importantly, it discusses a paradigm shift from a reactive to a proactive diagnostic approach, aiming to detect disease before occurrence of symptoms. Topics covered include the use of sensing technologies (e.g. smartphones, smartwatches, Internet of Things) to detect early disease-related changes, the application of data science (machine learning/AI) to extract otherwise invisible disease features from these datasets and the potential to personalize diagnosis based on tracking changes in individual behaviours. Advances in blood-based biomarkers, brain imaging, and the potential for early diagnosis to aid interventions (lifestyle, dietary, pharmacological) to delay future development of dementia are also discussed.
