In the realm of neurodegeneration, the intricate balance between life and death within cells is a subject of profound importance and intrigue. Regulated Cell Death (RCD) has become a key focus of research, shedding light on its complex mechanisms and implications for various neurodegenerative disorders.Regulated Cell Death in Neurodegenerative Disorders explores the discovery, features, and implications of RCD in the context of neurodegenerative diseases. Each chapter delves into different RCD mechanisms, such as apoptosis, necroptosis, ferroptosis, pyroptosis, and autophagy-mediated cell death, providing unique insights into cellular demise in different neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Multiple sclerosis, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and Huntington’s disease.Regulated Cell Death in Neurodegenerative Disorders features 14 chapters written by renowned experts in this field. Explore the complex world of RCD, covering its origins, mechanisms, and impact on neurodegenerative diseases, providing valuable insights into treatment options and therapeutic targets. Discover the diverse aspects of RCD modalities, the importance of chaperones, kinases, growth factors, inflammaging, mitochondrial dynamics, oxidative stress, and targeted strategies to prevent cell death in neurodegenerative disorders. This book covers molecular, cellular, and pharmacological mechanisms in all chapters from an applied science perspective.This book not only shares knowledge but also offers hope by presenting therapeutic strategies to modulate RCD for combating neurodegenerative diseases. It reflects the ongoing pursuit of understanding, innovative treatments, and unraveling the mysteries surrounding cellular death in neurodegenerative contexts.

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.

Circadian rhythms, sleep, and sleep disorders covers the topic in two sections focusing on basic science and clinical application. In the basic section, new developments and research findings focusing on basic circadian rhythm and sleep physiology in animals and humans is highlighted. The chapters are written in short mini-review formats in order to concisely describe the fundamentals, and current hot topics.The basic part starts with a chapter on the fundamentals and new discoveries on oscillating circuitries in the sleeping rodent and human brain. This sets the stage for chap 2, focusing on circadian and homeostatic aspects of human sleep regulation. Chap 3 extends these aspects to human cognition. The next chapter reports on visual and non-visual effects of light on human behavior, particularly endocrine and electrophysiological correlates. Chap 5 covers chronic sleep restriction effects on functional connectivity states. The last two chapters (6 and 7) give a broad overview on sleep modeling across physiological levels, with a focus on a quantitative model of sleep-wake dynamics based on the physiology of the brainstem ascending arousal system.The clinical section of the book describes the circadian rhythm sleep-wake disorders, from epidemiology to clinical picture and treatment. Disorders covered include delayed and advanced sleep phase syndrome, Irregular sleep-wake rhythm disorder, shift work disorder, restless legs syndrome, nocturnal eating syndrome, narcolepsy, and sleep apnea. Pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments of insomnia are explored, as well as the role of sleep-wake modulation in the pathogenesis and clinical profile of neurodegenerative disorders, such as Parkinson’s disease and 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.
