Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue, titled “Exposome and Metabolic Effects: Neurological Implications of Environmental Pollutants”, focuses on the emerging field of exposomics and its role in understanding the impact of environmental pollutants on human health, particularly the brain. The exposome encompasses the totality of environmental exposures an individual experiences over a lifetime, including pollutants, toxins, and lifestyle factors. This Special Issue explores how various environmental exposures can influence metabolic processes and contribute to neurological disorders, such as neurodegenerative diseases, developmental disorders, and cognitive dysfunction. Through a multidisciplinary approach, it delves into the mechanisms through which pollutants affect neurobiology, brain metabolism, and the interplay between genetic predisposition and environmental factors, offering insights into potential therapeutic interventions and preventive strategies.
We welcome original articles, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, reviews, and clinical trial articles that provide additional knowledge on the topic “Exposome and Metabolic Effects: Neurological Implications of Environmental Pollutants”.
Dr. Roberta Zupo
Guest Editor
