Neurobiochemistry: Molecular Basis of Neurological and Neurodegenerative Disorders

Recent advances in understanding the biochemical mechanisms underlying neurodegeneration, synaptic dysfunction, and neuroinflammation in diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and Huntington’s disease are critically reviewed. The chapter also covers the neurotransmitter biochemistry, blood-brain barrier biochemistry, and highlights promising biochemical targets and neuroprotective strategies in current preclinical and clinical investigation.
