Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The global burden of neurodegenerative disorders is rising, and current research is focusing on the exploration of the basic pathology of neurodegenerative diseases to develop a disease-modifying therapy or cure. Meanwhile, significant attention has been paid to modifiable risk factors, including social, environmental, and dietary risk factors which could possibly be implicated in the prevention of neurodegenerative disorders. Among dietary factors, adherence to traditional plant-based dietary patterns characterized by the high intake of bioactive nutrients such as polyphenols has been shown to exert favorable effects toward brain health. However, evidence regarding the association between individual polyphenol-rich foods, polyphenols, and their metabolites and cognitive health is limited.
Therefore, this Special Issue seeks to increase and summarize evidence on the effects of polyphenols and polyphenol-rich foods on neurodegenerative disorders. Both observational and molecular studies and reviews of published literature, exploring and summarizing the effect of polyphenol-rich foods, individual polyphenols, and their metabolites toward neurodegenerative disorders, as well as related outcomes (such as sleep), will be welcome.
