Metals and Neurological Disorders is a comprehensive exploration of how metal exposure impacts the human nervous system, both physiologically and pathologically. This multidisciplinary volume bridges toxicology, neurobiology, pharmacology, and clinical research to illuminate the complex interactions between metals and neural tissues.
The book begins with fundamental principles of metal homeostasis and progresses through exposure pathways, mechanisms of neurotoxicity, and the pathophysiology of metal-induced neurological disorders. It includes dedicated chapters on metals such as aluminium, lead, and iron, which are commonly implicated in neurodegenerative conditions. Advanced topics cover biomarkers, neuropsychological assessments, and imaging techniques for early diagnosis and targeted intervention.
Emerging tools and strategies such as nanotechnology, nutritional and lifestyle interventions, and translational research are highlighted, providing a bridge from benchside findings to clinical applications. The content is supported with clear diagrams, real-world examples, and up-to-date references, making it both academically rigorous and practically relevant.
Key Features:
-In-depth coverage of metal homeostasis, neurotoxicity mechanisms, and receptor-level interactions.
-Detailed analysis of specific metals (aluminium, lead, iron) and their role in neurological disorders.
-Examination of biomarkers, neuropsychological assessments, and advanced imaging for early diagnosis.
-Explores translational research, clinical trials, and emerging therapeutic strategies.
-Focuses on practical interventions, including nutritional, lifestyle, and nanotechnology-based approaches.
-Multidisciplinary perspectives connecting toxicology, neuroscience, medicine, and pharmacology.
