Microglial Aging

Microglial Aging: Basic, Translational, and Clinical Advances explores groundbreaking research on microglial function in the context of aging. This comprehensive resource delves into the physiological roles of microglia, the effects of aging on their structure and activity, and their significance in age-related neurodegenerative diseases. With insights from basic, translational, and clinical studies, it provides a thorough understanding of microglial health and its impact on aging. The book discusses how lifestyle choices can enhance microglial functions and prevent neurodegenerative diseases. It covers both pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches, such as the ketogenic diet, cannabinoids, psychedelics, and non-invasive vagal nerve stimulation.This text is invaluable for researchers and clinicians focused on improving the quality of life for an aging population.
