Neuroepigenetics Mechanisms in Health and Disease (Subcellular Biochemistry, 108) (EPUB)

By Brigitte van Zundert, Martin Montecino

The book Neuroepigenetic Mechanisms in Health and Disease provides insight into mechanisms of epigenetic control, focusing on molecular, cellular and integrative aspects of neurobiology. Here, leading investigators in the field discuss in each chapter landmark scientific discoveries and recent advances in (neuro) epigenetics.

Whereas some chapters concentrate in overviewing basic epigenetic mechanisms and the power of epigenome editing, other sections of the book discuss epigenetic control during learning and memory as well as in diverse brain related alterations, including neurodegenerative and rare neurologic diseases, and psychiatric disorders. In addition, the book covers relevant topics for modern human societies, including how drug abuse, environmental enrichment and meditation can influence brain function through epigenetic mechanisms. This book aims to serve as a useful source for junior scientists to first learn about the topic, as well as to more experienced researchers that seek for a broader view of this rapidly growing field that is beyond their area of specialization.
