The brain is the most complex organ in the human body, with a high and constant demand for inputs. Adequate nutrition and a balanced gut microbiota are essentials for the complete functioning of the brain, not only due to the energy supply, mainly from carbohydrates but also due to the adequate supply of other macronutrients and micronutrients for the synthesis of neurotransmitters and protein components. The present topic presents a wider scope of approach, involving several sub-themes, from basic science, pathological mechanisms, diagnostics, and therapeutics (pre-clinical trials: in vitro and in vivo and clinical studies on the main approaches to neurodegeneration and behavioral disorders under the light of neuro-nutrients and gut microbiota.
This topic will emphasize the main nutrients and the axis with the intestinal microbiota panel that can neuromodulate genes in mental illness, seeking to present key biomarkers such as microRNAs and exosomes, either up or downregulated, that are closely related to these diseases.
This topic aims to develop a collection of articles from both pre-clinical and clinical studies that present the main genetic, molecular, and cellular advances through neurological and gut microbiota treatment for the prevention and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases and mental illnesses, seeking to highlight the contributions of microRNAs and exosomes.
This topic aims to recruit articles whose results can establish scientific evidence of the important action of nutrients and the gut microbiota-brain axis in the prevention and/or treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, mental illnesses, and mental health trying to highlight the influences of microRNAs and exosomes in this process.
Keywords:
