The development of effective therapeutic and preventive strategies for these disorders relies on a comprehensive understanding of the underlying causative mechanisms. And, until recently, these mechanisms have remained somewhat elusive. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe newly discovered pivotal role of the intestinal microbiome in brain health, functionality, and resistance to disease is revolutionizing neuroscience. \u003ci\u003eThe Microbiome and the Brain, \u003c\/i\u003ethrough the contributions of some of the most forward thinking researchers and clinicians in the field, comprehensively reveals the leading edge of our understanding of the fundamental role of gut microbes and their metabolites in a wide array of seemingly diverse brain issues including Alzheimer's disease, autism, multiple sclerosis, and mood disorders. In addition, mechanisms defining these relationships are explored along with a presentation of the state-of-the-art as it relates to interpretation of relevant laboratory assessments. Finally, novel therapeutic opportunities, derived from this exciting science are presented. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReaders will learn: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe highly validated relationship between alterations of gut microbes and their metabolites, and risk for Alzheimer's disease.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe important link between autism and intestinal dysbiosis.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eAppropriate interpretation of available laboratory assessments of the intestinal microbiome.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe potential role of fecal microbial transplant in neurological diseases.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe influence of diet and other lifestyle choices on the microbiome as it relates to brain health and functionality.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Perlmutter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0815376723\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780815376729\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e CRC Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/02\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 214\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.30w x 0.70d","brand":"David Perlmutter","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43926460662015,"sku":"9780815376729","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_bad522b0-fdb9-410c-ad53-f7885e80ab16.jpg?v=1681083195","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-microbiome-and-the-brain-david-perlmutter-9780815376729","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
