Flavonoids are bioactive phytonutrients found mainly in plants and have shown significant potential in treating a range of ailments, including neurological disorders. This volume provides an insightful overview of flavonoids and their therapeutic applications in neurological health, presenting an in-depth analysis of the connection between flavonoid research and brain disorders.
The book covers fundamental concepts of flavonoid chemistry, including taxonomy, sources, structures, biological properties, and extraction techniques, before moving into their mechanisms of action within the complex brain environment. It explores classification methods, health benefits, and the growing evidence supporting flavonoids as therapeutic alternatives for conditions such as dementia, Parkinson’s disease, and Alzheimer’s disease. Special attention is given to the role of flavonoids in brain aging, synaptic plasticity, neuroinflammation, and oxidative stress. The volume also examines how compounds such as kaempferol and cyanidin may function as neuroprotective agents and how flavonoid derivatives interact with key signaling pathways to support neurological resilience and protection against degenerative processes.
