Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As populations in developed countries continue to get older, age-associated decrements in mobility and cognition will become increasingly prevalent. Strategies to slow or reverse these deficits are needed to increase healthy aging and reduce health care costs. Foods such as nuts, berries and other fruits have been shown to reduce the risk of age-related cognitive impairment in model organisms and humans. However, more research is needed to further identify specific dietary components that preserve cognition and overall brain health. In addition, more work must be completed to identify the mechanisms of action underlying improvements in cognition and overall brain health including studying neuroinflammation, neurovascular function, the gut-brain axis and other related pathways.
Researchers in the field are cordially invited to contribute original research papers or reviews to this Special issue of Molecules, which aims to identify nutritional interventions that help improve brain health, including cognition, mobility, and risk of neurodegenerative disorders and the mechanisms that underly these improvements. We look forward to reading your manuscripts.
You may choose our Joint Special Issue in Molecules.
