Focuses on the effects of natural products and their active components on brain function and
neurodegenerative disease prevention. Phytochemicals such as alkaloids terpenes flavanoids
isoflavones saponins etc are known to possess protective activity against many neurological
diseases. The molecular mechanisms behind the curative effects rely mainly on the action of
phytonutrients on distinct signaling pathways associated with protein folding and
neuro-inflammation. The diverse array of bioactive nutrients present in these natural products
plays a pivotal role in prevention and cure of various neurodegenerative diseases disorders
or insults such as Alzheimer's Disease Parkinson's Disease Huntington's Disease traumatic
brain injury and other neuronal dysfunctions. However the use of these antioxidants in the
management of neurodegenerative conditions has so far been not well understood. This is a
comprehensive collection addressing the effects on the brain of natural products and edible
items such as reservatrol curcumin gingerol fruits vegetables nuts and marine products.
