Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the acceleration of global aging, neurodegeneration-related cognitive and emotional dysfunction such as Alzheimer's disease pose significant risks. Due to their complex pathogenesis, effective treatment methods are currently available. How to shift the threshold forward through dietary regulation has become a key focus in preventing and controlling such diseases. Polyphenols have attracted attention in the prevention and control of various neurodegenerative diseases due to their excellent antioxidant activity. To better clarify the health effects of polyphenolic substances, this Special Issue focuses on reporting the dose–response relationship, structure–activity relationship, and key regulatory signaling pathways of different types of polyphenolic compounds, providing a good theoretical basis for elucidating their neuroprotective activity. Other suggestions from experts in the field are especially welcome. I encourage authors to submit their original research on this attractive topic.
