Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Bioactive compounds have been described as counteracting many of the pathological processes associated with neurodegeneration, given their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and neurotransmitter-modulating effects, among others. Therefore, it is not surprising that bioactive compounds have been suggested to play a role in neuroprotection and the management of neurodegenerative diseases.
These substances are often obtained from natural sources such as plants, fruits, or vegetables, and incorporating bioactive compounds into diets or as supplements offers a promising avenue for supporting brain health and function. However, more research is needed to fully understand their mechanisms of action and develop effective preventive and therapeutic strategies for neurodegeneration.
This Special Issue aims to gather recent knowledge on the effects of bioactive compounds in neuroprotection and their role in modulating neurodegenerative diseases. It is an exciting opportunity to highlight recent advances in this critical area of research. Original research articles (preclinical and human studies) and comprehensive reviews are welcome.
