The book explores the intricate connections between the nervous and immune systems in the context of neurodegenerative disorders, offering a comprehensive overview of the bidirectional communication between these systems and their implications for disease progression and therapeutic interventions. The book aims to understand the recent developments in the field of neuroimmune communication.

Key Features:

In-depth analysis of immunological biomarkers and therapeutic targets for neurodegenerative disorders.
Exploration of the role of glial cells in neuroimmune interactions and their dual nature in disease pathology.
Examination of short- and long-range interactions between the central nervous system (CNS) and immune system, including hormonal axis and cytokine milieu.
Discussion on the impact of microbiota on neural networks and immune responses, highlighting the gut-brain axis and potential therapeutic avenues.
Utilization of Drosophila model systems to study neurodegeneration, providing insights into disease mechanisms and potential treatment strategies.
Coverage of various neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, polyglutamine-related diseases, and tauopathy, with a focus on understanding disease progression and identifying therapeutic targets.

The book stands out for its interdisciplinary approach, bridging the fields of neuroscience, immunology, and microbiology to provide a holistic understanding of neurodegenerative diseases. It offers valuable insights into the complex interplay between the nervous and immune systems, shedding light on novel therapeutic avenues for treating these debilitating conditions. Suitable for researchers, clinicians, and students in the fields of neurology, immunology, and microbiology, this book serves as an essential resource for understanding the pathogenesis and treatment of neurodegenerative disorders.
