In addition to herbal remedies, "Medicinal Plants in Parkinson's Therapy" delves into complementary approaches like dietary adjustments, lifestyle modifications, and mind-body practices such as meditation and acupuncture. Highlighting medicinal plants like Mucuna pruriens, Withania somnifera, Tinospora cordifolia, Centella asiatica, and Bacopa monnieri, the book reveals their neuroprotective and antioxidant properties. These plants, rich in bioactive compounds such as Ursolic acid, Chlorogenic acid, and Berberine, have shown promising therapeutic activity in treating Parkinson's disease.

Neurobiology of Aging

  • 1st Edition
  • June 1, 2026
  • Sachchida Nand Rai
  • English
“Neurobiology of Aging: Exploring Cognitive Decline and Neurodegeneration” is a comprehensive reference exploring the complexities of the aging brain. This book examines the intricate processes driving cognitive decline and neurodegeneration. From the gradual loss of neurons and synapses to the formation of protein aggregates characteristic of Alzheimer's disease, each chapter reviews key aspects of brain aging. Chapters dissect the mechanisms driving neuronal loss, synaptic dysfunction, and protein misfolding, shedding light on the intricate interplay of oxidative stress, inflammation, and mitochondrial dysfunction. This book also navigates through strategies for healthy brain aging, from the impact of diet and exercise to the role of cognitive stimulation.

Neurobiology of Depression

  • 2nd Edition
  • June 1, 2026
  • Joao L. de Quevedo + 2 more
  • English
“Neurobiology of Depression: Road to Novel Therapeutics, Second Edition” follows the success from the previous edition synthesizing the basic neurobiology of major depressive disorder (MDD) with discussions on the latest research advances, including interacting pathways implicated in the pathophysiology of MDD, omics technologies, genetic approaches, and novel optogenetic techniques revolutionizing depression research. This new edition includes comprehensive foundational understandings of the disorder and highlights recent advances, aiding advanced students and researchers in their understanding of MDD. While Depression, one of the most common mental health disorders, results from various genetic, biological, environmental, and psychological factors. While first-line antidepressants targeting monoamine neurotransmission are standard, only about one-third of patients achieve remission. This updated edition introduces new chapters exploring groundbreaking topics such as the neurobiology of treatment-resistant depression, the mechanisms that make ketamine a better antidepressant, and the link between depression and Alzheimer's disease. Additionally, it covers the neurobiology of suicide in depression, the impact of psychedelics as therapy, and the unique aspects of bipolar depression. This book also examines computational models in depression, the neurobiology of psychotherapy, and the putative mechanisms of action for vagus nerve stimulation as a therapeutic approach. These additions help to provide a broader and more comprehensive understanding of depression and its treatment.

The Scientific Basis of Fatigue

  • 1st Edition
  • April 1, 2026
  • Colin R Martin + 3 more
  • English
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.
